The magician's hat- a black hole vocabulary.

What words flow

from the mystic pen

along the the corridors

of mind's mystery road

of conjured magic performed,

no rabbit is pulled from a hat

but a stop placed

upon reflection?

On dragon's breath

words of fire

stormed the world

of surrealism in disbelief

looking for truth

in a dream from

the real world passed

where the unconsciousness

from a nightmare lived,

dawned on awakening.

The knowledge was served.

That "black hole vocabulary" could be interpreted in more than one way. Our vocabulary, especially how we use it, seems bottomless, and it also can bring darkness (black magic) to the world. Like the magician, he can amuse, make us laugh... or horrify us. The poet does the same, painting the sun and moon in words. So much depth here, Andrew, in this relatively brief work. My thoughts are still evolving on this good work.

This idea of a word
living a life of its own
whether it is lit or grows dim
it sits there in secrecy but is heard
through a pen
lovely

the poet as magician...now you see the words, now you don't...
"why don't we do it in the road, no one will be watching us" and we may think, no one will be reading us...as well.
love this.
