mask of transformation

masks of transformation
magic starman with feather
hands and eyes
The world of appearances
gone transparent, like a
shimmering fish dancing
across the minight
imagination
of the minds eyes heart
and then I realized
the nature of the psychosis
when the wolf becomes man becomes raven
becomes black swan or albino moose
wfhen hunter descends to the frozen lifelesss plateau
there is a crystaline structure
that speeds the molecular world up
while turning the metabolic furnace
down I dream a winter of darkness and
carnivourous bears
I dream a season filled with procreation
I dream of a sphere in which grouse and seagul,
wolverine and raven, orca and frog
all intertine even in winter
as frog lies dreaming in the frozen mud
I pilot my way home safely
beneath the full moon and sparkle of stars
