Pan Tan-Gou: Paradise Won! M.Stow I wish to record an occurrence of which took place: of God and the gods' calabash risen in light formless form foaming elongating elliptic bubbles of life in strings and stranded in waves narrowing and increasing frequency of these pips seeded of the gourd-shaped sealed sub-nuclear cellular tip-ended of vegetational-root and branch growing and flowering...and thus to seed and to seed again and again... 1.Waterfall 2.Over the Waterfall. 3.Escape from the Underworld. 4.Heaven as Hell. 5.Birth Death and Dust. 6.The End of The Universe. 7.Paradise Won. Pan Tan-Gou: Paradise Won! As We now know in self-image Each Our own familial Separated at birth and shared in later-life... Waterfall. From Chaos! The Rock of Eternity! EarthCentre! Many-Worlds! Free-will! To do of as We will! With all-Other decides The-One! Hammered and chiseled away at The-World...while She of the most ancient Tanit-Gou virginal mother-plant grown...of a land of milk and honey celestial-Unicorn and the most ancient Terrestrial-Turtle-ridden a Phoenix-bird of bliss overflew the first Imperial-Sovereign split earth and sky crouched in a great empty floating-gourd stood axe-wielding split whetstone-mountain sparked-off. Beneath a storm breaking-loosed rocks and tinderwood-tree burning. Raging-pools bubbling-over oily babbling-brook and churning-Lea. Ran as of a Promethean' Pramanthas' sacred coupling As of Andromeda-Maithuna conjoined As into and out of genuinely sincere functional and faithfully named: -NuWa and Fu-Xi -Nkauj Muam and Nraug Nus -Enki and Nintu -Ask and Embla -Yama and Manu -As Nyame and Asase Ya bringing forth Bia and Tano... Across cultures illuminations' sparkling waters' flung. Muddy-droplets a twirling of many fiery-rods The Compass and Square Dried-out cracked and as brought out of Sun-Fire. Re-producing iron and coursing-clay Sun-filled fruitful heart-ful distant cousinly married. Beneath a sacred-tree with a roof of Gold Iron-Pillars of the four-directions... A never-so-cold sky collapsed retained the five-coloured rainbow-rock. Yet warring and merely entertaining of the Deity and Divinity For their amusement. Enraged by such ignorance of plight. As on the back-sides of such Royal-Rats Become fleas and flies renouncing denouncing-tonsils. Of such family and ancestral dynasty Vainly dispensing of enlightenment and for-giveness. As of the horrors and errors thus committed In prideful-defiance although for a childhood set-out. To retrieve the origins of The Good-Life! Helpless and hapless and needing of aid in protection Not haphazard death in defense of deified-Selves The Good-Lie! In denial merciful merciless nothing...in-between. Other defeated who become Monsters and Demons further down-the-line. Who try to obtain immortality by eating flesh and blood and bones and seed Of children's ritual innocence sacrificed.
