Voyage to Koh Pha Ngan

(written with Lesley Dean)

Enveloped in the ring of glowing green squidfisher boats
Fluorescent extra terrestrials skim the horizon
Wizard oil pastels seep into the ink well sea

Alien robot man and honeysuckle lady
Two artists fabricating Maya on a pilgrimage

The crystal mermaid invited us to follow the path to serenity and beyond

Blood red sun sinks beneath wisps of carebear clouds
Concentric arcs slice the water in an elongated wifi pyramid

Floating over the globular ocean of Solaris
Heading towards heaven on a ship of faith
Ahab’s goin’ fishing

The earth rises to hold us on a platform of hardened lava
A temporal beacon of light

Beneath the gentrification, something of the island’s magic remains

Frankenstein’s monster constructs his DIY rehabilitation clinic,
offering breathwork and abundance seminars

Too much voltage in alien robot man is a symptom of a cancer,
Malignant fear that needs to be excised immediately

Honeysuckle lady rolls around in digital ferns,
At peace with the gross, decaying mass of slime and sludge

Together they compose the cyborg songs of interconnectedness,
Inspired by Queen Mab’s fiddle at the seed of dreams

John Coltrane kicked the heroin habit to find a love supreme
So do we, through rolling saxophone medleys, free ourselves of fixation
Rationalizing about meaning is useless unless you feel it
Saint Jerome’s lion needs to go walksies
