Leap Up

Let's keep it simple - there may be a Cause
honeycombed  deep across the firmament;
but here's the rub - some loony man's hell bent
on channeling a thing that has no clause.

He wants to unite the tribe, with snake oil,
and write it better in a book to kiss -
to kiss, to bind, to kill, make all amiss;
and watch the cities burn, the dark smokes roil.

We deep in death and nothing  helps us so
but the dawn comes and birds sing and we sleep;
whatever is our unknown case we weep
however imagination casts  go.

There is a real, but yet no one may know
how it sleeks dovetail, nor what twigs may grow.
