delphi sanctuary

resting on an idle cloud
in a soft early morning light
the wide open window invited
a gleaming hello of a forgotten fortune

capture a quotation
a blue flash of recognition
connect our separate senses
in cryptic coloration
hidden from illumination

we find ourselves exposed
perched upon pockets of empty air
aligned to anchor the wind

acknowledge the narrative
of peaceful passes
sheer cliffs and blind corners
waiting to materialize

meeting at the intersection
a four way stop
you with your mystical mask
and hidden arrows

me with my mad mutterings
in a vaporous mist
kept silent in secret springs
overflowing tellurian tremblings

maligned by magic
pulled over in power
lost in the elucidation

deliver your discourse
practice your soliloquy
they’ve paid to hear the truth
