Through the gate of wisdom's palace the silent
gatekeeper of a dream play is seen
nightly guarding the door of perception
the dream of perception
everyman his own religious leader
the heart occasionally a haven for others
Khlebnikov's Humanistan isn't on the map
but God's empty belly from the 17th century
a church of bellicose autocrats
(nothing utilized for a long time past)
God's house a womb
could the lover behind be perceived inside? hoochie coochie man
like a ripening soundless lonely shadow
a multitude of excited bodies below his fingers
a multitude of passionate bodies before his sparkling eye
fatherless father God (oh!
God's house a maternal body with an erected phallus from the 17th century
Mikael Ejdemyr
