Atlantean Wizard

Look up into the sky
And not to see a wizard.
Look up at the sun
And imagine an exacting turn,
The sun a thought,
A Window left open
And through once the wizard came.

Take the time to walk forever,
Up a staircase that winds through vast rooms,
Rooms full of oceans,
Furnished with islands,
Rugs of green land,
Atlantis,
Walk as the wizard's boot forever.

Say the speak with hands folded to the millimeter,
Say the speak of a thousand worlds.
Stay the week,
One world, one king,
One wizard,
Hold the line
While becoming lines,
Mirrors,
Power,
War.

Kill the death that brought the gods of Atlantis downward in motion,
Incur their fierce envy,
Stop the killing souls and sink the island,
Be a wizard and look up into the sky,
Understand the Wizard's eye.
Fill the time that is already gone.
Meet the people already done.
Hold the power of the temples.
Let the land return to the sea.
Let the geneticists and physicists,
Incarnate again in 1993.
Stop this illusion and stay by the window of the sun,
The wizard has won.
The wizard just one,
Looked up into the sky and saw
Atlantis,
As only a game to be played.
