The Law of Conservation of Energy

In Egypt, the adze cuts open the mouth

For breath. To speak again

For the immortal Ka, a thousand lotus flowers

A tomb holding necessities for a world unknown

Isis did not start this, nor any of the gods

But her tears for Osiris flooded the Nile

In Tibet, the bardo spirit seeks a womb to enter back into this world

As ghosts pace the streets

Eulogies and epitaphs hold a silent mantra

Music and the law of vibration

Energy and the Law of Conservation

Words of power, elemental discussion

Here, the Black Book of the World was not tasked for me to write

I will write the Blue Book of the Waves

And I will drive a flying car to heaven

And I will get him out from under the ice

To cross realms and dimensions

And love the departed in present tense
