Prologue to Part TwO, Part 4










13.
with FlowerS yet, Jack laughed 
Glimpsed, here
Hero indeed-- !
Though the fool in Carnival HaT 
Was just as good!

that was a pretty good painting 
at Bryce Canyon.
such a complicated place 
with too many parts 
Crispin was looking

for a simple whole 
to represent it.
Nevada dread-- 
was Achilles mind
There was the black and white behind 

everything, remembered,
and this Western 
Jaunt, thing--
She made fun of,
All Together turning 

into a bright Heraldry
of Red Villa Wall, 
The SimplE GolD 
OpulencE of the SuN,
Against a Night in the 

Studio coming on,
A Mountain ahead 
elicited hope,
the Majestic Sierra 
covered still in snow.


14.
He would teach them,
to draw a thing or two.
From Head to Toe.
Who is that woman 
that naked Man?

We sought ourselves. 
In Memory
or Ideal, 
informing a Present, 
NoW.

A dreamer awakening 
to irony of--
of the just world 
we just lived
“Just,” was the problem 

Jack couldn’t let go of.
HA! He would lead 
that figure 
out of the woods, 
a shaft of sun 

penetrating, would 
enlighten some
a seeming spirit personified, 
SOme Music 
here, da Duh, da Duh, 

da Duh, 
was the soundtrack of a life 
The wonderful simple being--
da Duh, da Duh, da Duh-- it went on 
with a Monk’s chanting,

the Reverence of
Crispin Achilles, walking back 
into the headlights.
They stepped aside, 
the frogs in full force.

Brexx--Krexx, 

15.
Art brought these frogs 
to Coal Oil Point and here, 
through Aristophanes,
the Clouds,
This was the world made by the Walk.

The Allegory of Allegory,
A doubling beyond and
Around the Lagoon.
The world became this but 
then it all depended--

look, not much by way of example 
here--
I am a part
what of a whole? 
Crispin sought

He wanted to write the poem 
on the wall.
Henry and Jack in conference thought 
they were getting somewhere, 
and a story

line would bring it finally together, wed 
with symboled level 
of kaleidoscopic TumBlinG
he had seen 
how the Rothko’s 

stripped of their story 
faltered, they had stolen the Myth, 
the Fire
from within them
and now they seemed decoration 


16.
for some Buddhist retreat, 
Their own physical power 
diminished, 
So Akilles would continue the path,
many thought the wrong road

the story, the walk, around the lagoon.
WeSterN LagOOn.
Yes, JacK, could make it up, This Allegory, 
of, what was behind
or above, or Below

In feeling-- “The sky, he said, 
paint the Sky!”
Divine Madness, she said, 
of the Seventh
inspiration from negative parts, 

she never saw
much or maybe evaded, the stuff 
that joins-- things, the tumbling
Blue, Oranging into Purpling 
slate-- and stars.

He had only glanced at the paintings 
haphazardly 
against the wall 
they would try to stop-- 
were held up against the night,

shored up
against-- life itself, well 
bring it on, he motioned
Jack wasnt completely sure.
As he had nothing 

but this poem to lose
OH, and the paintings 
stored and stacked 
away, That was NighT too, 
It was all related 

to the two Henry’s
He put them on the computer 
and revolved 
them round.
NIGhT STUdIO turning round--


17.
to blue silhouette,
some genius of the sea-- 
maybe Ideal shade
FigurE that puts it all together,
and mimicks, the EaRth

revolving, through.
Prophesy 
spoken! --that he had opened his mouth,
Mysterious shiver and shake,
No SpookY, 

remembering, 
the lonely anxiety
of moments, 
to SinG and
passing, alone, here

providing the motion, to turn 
carnival atmosphere into
Mexican night,
death and beauty.
Achilles/ Shield and--

clap of hands, there!
It was all in an order of BeautY 
Floating, shifting, meaning, 
if any at All.
NOT WanTing To LeaVE.

There the gOd was!
Crispin was Off--
stepping out!
A journey of Profane 
Chaos, and Error-- 

searching for the sacred moments 
passing the Temples 
creating the Altars, on this long
 and lonesome road.
You FoOl, even YoU--

Jack saw the BeAutY.
The BeauTy created the BeaUty. 
That you were here, 
missed the Day-- 
THE BEAUTY
