UNBROKEN CHAIN
From the 2024 Collection "Sixteen Odes From a Toad's Repose"
Yes, it’s a famous song—
“Unbroken Chain”
by the Grateful Dead,
a good band name
as an aside,
but that’s another poem.
And the song title?
I know for certain
they found it
written on a cave wall,
a string of dots,
red dots, many,
traveling through
bodies, people, many.
They also permeate
space and time
weaving souls
binding souls
like a spiritual virus.
It’s splendor is
unparalleled,
it’s wisdom cannot
be disputed,
The Retinue of
The Sacred Rock
does not skip
generations.
