The Flowery Road of Mount Daisy Sion

You must travel to the flowery road of Mount Daisy Sion.


First, Ascend to the most western edge
of the most northern peak.

Celebrate the wind, dance
to her beat.

Stomp your feet and kick
up the ashe of yesterday.

Next, Run down the eastern hillside. Gently

slide over the obdurate edge of earth.

Feel yourself seep down your thighs.

Lick god's sweat off your lips and

ride the wave of bright til you

feel the heat of day, fade

with the distant

sunlight.


Dusk has past,
and now the stars and moons lead.

A cosmic catastrophe,
one million years before,
brightens your night, just
enough to see the dust
breathing beneath you.

Now, remove your shoes
one by one.
Go down this path you hath begun.
Now you walk til the days do end.
Sun goes up, sun comes down
every day, this you know.
You must walk this path you lead,
til the day

the sun, doth not show.
