Astra-Far-Eye
For Willi

Herb in taut drums
essence undisclosed
silence in a silk grove
trees waving at the deaf
twilight now descending
some brothers attending
the sacred paraphernalia
fingers joined at the palm
forgot the goat’s name
hide hardened in the sun
coconut cannon barrel
red-gold-green blazons
draw spoon through honey
churn the ocean of mind
sand castles, white beaches
a paradise for the blind
