Guttural streams
of dream-rock
in an amphitheater
for the five senses and beyond–
Here, at the liminal edges,
you will find fire-kissed wildflowers
applauding the performance
by opening their volumeless mouths
wide
and swallowing whole
the cathedral of sound,
in which you the singer,
they the wildflowers,
and It the holy third,
put an end to mirages
and merge fluidly
to no end.
