God of the Gale

I had forgotten how much I wanted 
Our sun was like a golden golem 
Rising every dawn 
The name of God 
At the gaping jaws of silted horizons 
Bloody sunrises like gashes in the skies 
Call me viper 
Heavens tether was a gallows rope 
I wanted an exorcism 
It wasn't enough
God of the gale 
I had forgotten how much I wanted— 
Eros like a crown of thorns 
Burning in the glass coffins of every blood sunrise every moonless horizon like a golden golem rising from the felled earth 
There was razorlight at the nape of my neck
nor could I forget
a God of the gale
was diving from the wreck
