Poetic Interlude VI: AMALGAMATED MAN


AMALGAMATED MAN

I am colored like an ashen dawn
and sprout cotton from atop my head.
Dirt, black and rich, crumbles between my toes
and pure clean water, a river's worth
of salutation full of fishes
and exotic life, flows from my heart.

Bearing the crest of my many colors;
the greens and golds, the reds, yellow, blue,
electric blue, indigo cerulean.
A rainbow unfurls about my hips,
bleeding out and staining brittle parchments
inscribed with the secret equations
written down in God's secret language.

My mouth is a fount of Eternity.
All things, great and small, real or indifferent,
great plumes of substance, spring from my loins.
My legs are tree trunks, my hands the branches.
My eyes are gaping holes of flame
as I peer into a volcano's throat,
matching its primal scream with my own.
I bear witness to a panoramic
view of gently rolling meadows,
soaring mountains and fathomless oceans.
Dander falls from my scalp, whitening
the fields with freshly blown snow.

I am Gabriel's trumpet. Angelic.
A living instrument of the green Earth.
My soul throbbing with the pent up energies
that lie chambered within her core.

Here I am. An amalgamated man.
A living metaphor. My moods flashing
and shifting like the changing seasons
as I rotate slowly about God's glory,
holding tight to the wavering moon,
to my lover, my wife, my friend.
Keeping counsel with the sun,
dancing along the horizon's edge,
weaver of celestial destinies
and all heavenly dreams of creation.

We live within an incalculably discrete moment which exists between the definitive complexities of the past and the enduring inevitability of an infinite future. These opposing states of being meet within an ever-shifting moment with less relativistic substance than either of them. This is a point in time that can hardly be considered as real. A point with no proven parameters. Consider the question of where or when along our life's thread, our timeline of existence, does the present take form? This is most difficult, if not impossible to identify because the immediacy of the moment forever slips away into the past when perceived from our current position and is constantly overwhelmed by the looming presence of the future. All that we can know for sure is that from the one state, the other is constructed. The future, the reactive effect, is birthed from the ripe potential of the past, the catalyst. To attempt to pinpoint the one, however, to fix either in place within an ...
