Balaam's Second Dream

he saw great, green plains clumped with patched forest; roaming caribou and knew this was not the Euphrates

ó, never be

& by the by patchwork shaded over   clouds clouded over. and the name of god   was lost

the sky darkened. darker than quilted dream-fabric

until a modern prophet, a wrinkled son lost his tamagotchi (at the side of a stream,) watched by caribou

a little further then, when tall colonaded mansions crumbled relative to Dirac’s constant

he watched the integration of an empty set ⊃ the lie of union

after starting, settled down   so close, slowly,   nose to the ground   hesitate to movement but moving closer till with outstretched hand   (& cue music) reach out touching cold, metal, muzzle

this is the deer’s prophecy: "be honest, not rude" but they were gone, galloping through wild pine forest
