Trickster Throws the Dice

Trickster pauses
at the ragged edge of infinity.
Rolling surf greets
a descending sun.
Cars park
and face
the merging of Sun and Ocean.

memories incarnate
dreams of innocence
dreams of freedom
dreams of possession
Trickster watches,
dice in hand.
Sun burns across the sky.
Ocean holds all rivers.
fire and water
twins of transformation
crackle and splatter
wrestle each other
erase
purify
destroy
create
Trickster juggles...
fire spreads across the water
and chaos is freed.
The exquisite corpse rises
reshuffled, reformed, reborn.
