Philosopher Bird
by Conrad Martin
Pelican, primordial, abstruse—
you glindering ghoul, unglad
apparatus of a leaked ghost,
holy goose horrified flying shovel,
probic hooligan hacking heaven,
in praise and particle partaking,
landish and lusory, chimmering in
through the air float-walking, sky-boating
keel-full in captured angels—
doom-swan belly-deep in bliss.
Conrad Martin loves words for their ability to create deeper awareness and experience of life through connection between minds and hearts.
