Baxia: The Thunder Dragon
by Geoffrey Gatza
Bestow situations upon all gleaners
Award senior citizen’s their watches
In a haze of wired cathedrals
a misguided cube of heroine
reaches for the bin of stored
arms and a small cotton ball
it is the space left by an object when it is missed
that renders space negative as a spectacular lapse
of judgment visually, emotionally and spiritually
When the god of literature
was taken prisoner, it was
Lei Jen Zu who went to his
father, Thunder Dragon;
He gave him magic apricots
that would transform him
into a green horned dragon
As a dragon Lei Jen Zu saves
Robert Creeley for him to write,
in the eyes of time, the world is
an endless cycle of limitations.
