Bryan's Song

Tell me Bryan, how much you know  of secrets things from long ago  of talisman and things that fly  of promises from days gone by.  Speak of that thing which once we knew  spun webs of gold and etched diamonds blue,  what gave human beings their breath of life,  mated shaman on high with his one faithful wife.  Talk of the one thing that we know to be,  that sovereign element we flawfully see,  the one that temps fervent selling of soul  lest you know Hypnos’ bed in lone doltish woe.  So tell me sire Bryan, from hence you once came  Are there reams of stale wishes and desirous shame?  And of that one thing would you give it all  or succumb instead to the breathless fall?  alone and down      among the mortals          the shopping malls              and sororities  and ribald institutions  To know my face would reveal nothing true.  We search them all before we are through.  Breath deep we embrace to espy that one thing  that gives to our words the song that they sing.  what fills your lungs  if it is not me?
