Yearns in harmony for illumination in the East.[…]

nevermind the scarecrow

Nevermind the scarecrow,
Posted with his buttonhole eyes 
Scouring the palatable emptiness of the West,
While his straw-filled heart 
Yearns in harmony for illumination in the East.

Aghast; he’s a byproduct of terror, or
A ghost; he’s an Asian butterfly,
Circling dazed in a breeze not his own.
And imprisoned within this hay ride to hell,
He’s doomed to a chase the snake 
That won’t stop eating its tail.
