Literature Text

just before the start of spring
whilst blue moonlight washed
my slightly sacred thing
i vacated
                          
                  
                  the left side of my brain


i moved out overnight
in a dream of sharp lines
as mad naked women
danced to thick phallic symbols
all covered in vine

i packed up in the darkness
(but for the blue)
placed my logic in a square trunk
my fears and my algebra too

left the past with the future
left all science with facts
and found history quite light
for all that it lacks

i left for the street sweeper
perfect plato in boxes
left him all for a vision
of green spotted foxes

                                 
                   i live now on the right side

settled down for the now
divining tea leaves with turtles
and rainbow buddhas with cows

i live quite alive
with my dreams and my flights
yellow auras aqua angels
cerise symbols white lights

i will never go back there
having discovered my plight
living here amongst new gods
living here on the right
i have been jung too long to be a freud.

Thoughts on Concept?
Thoughts on language?
I know the poetry is not pure and perfect but does it keep enough rhythm?
Other thoughts?
