o one here can show you where it is but I can point to a sign
On the roof of the world without apparent design
The frozen definition of a lunatic ambition to rise
The air is thin, the future dim, dimension hard to find
Up on a mountain encased in solar rays
Beyond electric dreams of inarticulate passion plays
Coming down a mountain, eons have a human ring
The conversation of impassive planets intercepted by a human being
Ratiocination is a practicable way to derive
An attitude or altitude and probity by which to abide
Or maybe a theophany of flaming creosote in disguise
The air is thin, the future dim, dimension undefined
Up on a mountain encased in solar rays
Beyond electric dreams of inarticulate passion plays
Coming down a mountain, eons have a human ring
The conversation of impassive planets intercepted by a human being
Here glaring cold in the crystalline
geometry of night, obscuring
form and tracing faceless fears of
suprahuman immensity in a
patch of sand or a raptor's guileless
shivering intensity, I'm only
a visitor, an atom of atoms on a jutting
red spattered synagogue
of granite as it crouches literally in
space, a frozen amoral giant
gazing heavenward forever
Let's go where the raptor goes to the mountain in a cosmic glow
We'll have a genuine terrestrial show on a mountain - on a mountain
Let's scan the horizon clean for any trace of human schemes
And try to touch upon immortal themes - on a mountain - on a mountain
Up on a mountain encased in solar rays
Beyond electric dreams of inarticulate passion plays
Coming down a mountain, eons have a human ring
The conversation of impassive planets intercepted by a human being
