“BALD EAGLE”
As read by the author Simon Flynn:
“ae ae aesculapius of the aether...
…originates as archaeopteryx”
The aether’s archaeopteryx reigns…
aloft, sees in dreams… which aesclepius sustains…
for nature’s height hath caduceus brains…
So the ether’s archaeopteryx must…
rove the air, to tell… in trust…
adeptly weaving worlds… with words! …and while weaving… proceed thus…
past warps, till woofs… are producing… weft…
by ginning thoughts… joining right and left…
quixotically native… and… in… too…
mind’s anticipant weir… and seldom through.
Read and written, into minds…
transitioning thee through these riparian times…
duplicitous, anadromous, parties mine…
by stories, lore, in science, in time…
proceeding… in studies… voraciously fine…
crux* on that scene of most difficult brine*…
from whence the sapiens chart; these the sapient times…
venturing from the silvic heights…
upon this cloth; this firma terre,
cried plane versus sphere in sacred rites…
of mountain, meridian, land, sea and air
to order, learner… deciphering, tare
and place these cephal talons there…
into that sub limnol lair…
not thee? …and I… I… with cross to bear?
This and thus the learned yearner.
For born of open spaces, dreams,
where wanderers think… and… spirits seem…
The hearts and minds! …
of yearning persons…
thus:
A nation, built, with arch, with dome,
stands on lands, grains, timbers… lone
and free in mind this heart to roam
hath found thy dream, thy name, thy home.
