Taking Off My Hat to the Sun

[dukealien]

Mxyzptlk

The Compass in Northern Darkness,
that North Star among Aurora Lights.
Glimmering breeze, the Fiery Aura
unviolated by Drunken Victory.  

A Heel is His own Opponent,
Large, and Loving the Shakti,
Rainbow Serpent in which
the Southern Arrow Crosses

Every Shadow under the Sun
like some dismissive Mother,
Seeking a Child in Some Foreign
Egg.

He was Born like Wholeness
From the Source
and in Obeyance to a Cosmic Whim
Eloped the Manor of Heaven

to Another Sequence, Left
of Reason, or the Budding Seed,
Coming Before Creation,
the Fire of the virgin Breeze.

I'm in awe of the images and their related concepts here.  (I might have said "inviolate" and "Obeisance," but that's just me.)  As to the title, I've always wondered about the origin of Superman's most difficult opponent - not where he came from, but from what.  This is surely the best bet for that little man of magic in the bowler hat and the kilt.
