the spearheaded tongue

words flow like
water
(not like honey,
honey is thick and slow, though it be sweet,
water is quick and languid, it is fluent)
from the spearheaded tongue
like a waterfall
into a lake
of rainbows, smiling rainbows

pure, uncorrupt thoughts
flow from
the pure, uncorrupted
and unindoctrinated
mind
to the spearheaded tongue,
are transformed into
intelligible, verbal form,
touches other minds
in the void of the outside

ethereal minds,
floating in the void
of unrefined spacestuff
in existially negative
air

touching the minds
through infinitely
non-existent
space,
pure, uncorrupt thoughts
transform the concepts
and actions
of each of the all-persons
and thereby,
influences the earths
of all of non-existence
