a future, revolving

i.
a giant, revolving and brightly lit
heart (glowing with a million candles and neon tubes courtesy of santa claus and the ghost of che guevara) descended from the sky, appearing before rush hour traffic. Though it was modeled after a human heart, it was not like any seen before. Lightning issued from the arteries and veins that covered it, a flock of winter geese attended its hovering and fluttering through the sky and their accompaniment was a noisy one.
ii.
the construction of flesh from dust and butterflies began in the early summer. geese fed themselves on fresh shoots of grass, the wind whistled through trees whose arms swayed moonward and small fish jumped out of the water in hordes, their eyes painted blue by poseidon himself.
iii.
oh, and the stillness of the moon, hanging within heaven's reach like a watchful eye whose name is like the movement of wings!
