Dear Gods, Disney, Da Vinci and Dalí

Dear Gods, 
        Disney, Da Vinci and Dalí


One. Where Mickey is swept by floodwaters into space
On his broom, swooping and sweeping stardust

Two. How the rendered ochre pages dreaming the blades
For whirling and lifting man from earth into heavens

Three. When stones and sky caress an island breast aiming
Beyond canvass toward Halloween and you are there

Disney, Da Vinci, Dalí.  America, Italia, España
Swooping fervor, aiming cognition, whirling trinity

Walt, Leonardo, Salvadór.  Man, uomo, hombre
Pioneering high priests, inured magicians and stand-ups

Iconoclastic ghosts hurling between unknown planets
Buried still and blurred amid the milky distances

Unshelved models for a cerebral universe, swelling
Black as it is, as we breath, breath when alive

Alive, provoking subatomic and pulsating galactic
Emerging like laughter, plumes of spilled design

Dear gods, Disney, Da Vinci and Dalí
Thank you, grazie, gracias, dear gods


Amen
