Fortuna’s eco-correct,  green canvas
cornucopia spills perfect black dots onto conveyor belts of naked red ladybugs. |

The elephant-god forges silver horseshoes, flings one with his
trunk to test on Buddha’s head— |

3. |
Clank. Around Gautama’s neck! He grins, and spins his
karmic wheel. |

The dolphins and fu bats sit together in the cafeteria. It is not an easy friendship,
squeaking in different languages. The scarab sits alone, munching old four-leaf clovers. |

Hamsas hand-jewel their palms, fire themselves, zap the slimy evil eye crawling towards you
on fly’s legs. They beckon you through turquoise synchronicity-doors to corridors of
pulsing radiances. |

Outside, the white cat pads along, bell ringing.
Forepaw raised, she beckons the moon. |
