Every ravishing eternity
I wrestled with That Angel Antiquity of Fire living like light in my ribs
High on the liquor of moonlight
Into the god grave I was riding fire
In august heat I dreamt the wild violences of winter were plundering me
the predation of grief
Desire was a liquidating eternity
All my splitting selves unraveled in front of me
Dispossession
I delighted in the disappearance of drifting paradise
and I was exiled twice
And I was exiled twice
Yes I came back with the weightlessness of light
couldn't you go with the November moons?
the untethered wings of the wind unwinded into monsoons
Burning blue with the summerfire
The universes Adamantine
You reminded of them
Desire was wild magic to me
I was an ornament of the earth going under the stillness of summer minutes
and I witnessed
I was in the atrium of burning blue
in the Skein of Summer
godless and grand
acquiring ruination for you!
I was a disciple of fire
Eternity that harbinger of light
in the vaults of solitude I wanted to die
I savored the mysteries asylum of fire in the falling darkness the ordeals would be over soon for a moment we were tombless moons and then the deepening trees met us the dead like umbral shadows I was bruised by evenings leaving me and yes I was vanishing these were violations of immensity
you had me like an emperor of darkness falling for eternity
phantom wings like limbs of light
in the womb of God I tried to hide
You had the wilderness of seas
Mauled by the silken trim of lightning
the darkling stars had my appetites
it was desire living like light
Resurrected Ariel on the shore
I made Communion with cold moons
desire what a feeble flame to live for
I was a fugitive of daylight for it
Madonna of the polyphony of selves I ended
I suppered in the silver skies
Good morning sunshine, I said to the sepulcher
Desire was spinning like liquidating eternity
Dispossessed of Dawn
I walked the wilds and then I wandered on
gathering vastness for a famished eternity
I was in love with the glowing hours they belonged to me
the devastation of Hiroshima came from the deeps
every summer I wanted like a haunted thing
Eternity that harbinger of light
Madonna of the shattered visages of Eternity
Black wasting dawn
Who will bait the biting god
Who will abandon the grace
Bereaved in a cavern of dreams
I was a native to Eternity
and I thought the wild world had forgotten me
Like a wrecked thing in the wastes of Babylon
Magdalena of the moths
do your holy work of desolation
Appetite like a death drive
it was a gilded eternity in the wilderness
and I witnessed
the Testament of the Earth
darkness was a prelapsarian garden
the stars were seething with my petitions
Harvesting evening light
This is the Testament of Flesh
I wanted to forget
the dark day star
catastrophe and void
Flesh eating wasps on meadow grasses
to the dark day star
I confessed
Through ruin and rain
Evangelion of eternity
Cold fox eyes like searchlights
Oedipus I was eclipsed by the eyes of Witness
Annihilation in night like oblivion eternity
I counted the eves before I died like an accountant of dreams
Summer going to the stone tombs
Annihilation in the night I wish I had died
Zion they were scriptures of nightfall calling
Ecstasy an Epitaph for the sainted night
The sacred abundances the delight
Flesh of the world wound
You Crusader of chained cities
Had me Burning Troy like a god consuming cities
That predator anarchy
All my memories go mute at midnight
You were like ice that survived the first ages
From the hesitating wastes
Wanting Emancipation your blood was like a barbiturate
I was a storm light sacrament of the shifting winds
Madonna of the saintly trinity fires
Madonna of the golden nooses
Flesh Redeemer
disciple of daylight Revelations
Tell the Titan of Eastern Dawn
that I wanted—
and I wandered on—
God the sun gypsy scattered his graces
Madonna of the Golden Nooses
Madonna like a Sin You Choose
Madonna of the reveling Meteors
Madonna like a reverie beckoning
Weightless like a tempests of fire
It was desire
Madonna of the shivering veils
The grandeur of God
A revelation I had forgotten
Doubt that the stars are fire
Doubt the storms of God were dying
That dark oceanliner of Eternity
Carrying an infinity of griefs
Madonna of the vacancies
Resurrection roses of Jericho
I was a wasting thing
Madonna wherefore
Madonna whatamI
Madonna of what I witnessed
In august heat I dreamt of predation
By the wild violences of winter
Yes the soundless were slaughtered
in a killing spring of starlight
Summer was a season of brutalities
Gilded God of fire—
gilded God of furnaces—
I heard the wrath of angels
That Horizon of Heaven waging war
God of the furnaces of Creation
It was irradiated starlight like sprawling dark
In the summerfire of revelation
Like the warmth of a summer thunderstorm
The golden gypsy of the Sun
Her bones were Dark Floating bodies of ash
Mountain peaks of the irradiated starless dark
And I needed your light inside of me
Moonbeams on the moors
Existence was a spring I was drinking
Dozing like a coward in the deeps
Despair tore a ravine
unburdened by burning dusk
you vanished like hour hands
tarnishing in light
It was Requiem for the lion not the lamb expiring
Imprisoned in Veiled Paradise
Seraph of the seasons incarnating stars
Halcyon thing I was desire decaying or desire awakening
Ushering the unborn light of meteors
Desire lived an eternity in me
Shrinking from the drifting winds
and I was exiled twice
And I was exiled twice
Yes I came back with the weightlessness of light
Felled eternity was like a mistress of dissolving light
Forgotten godhead
The Workmanship of your calamities
The Workmanship of your starlit evenings
gaining darkness like an armament
despair made me selfish
deep in the lidded entrails of the earth
The workmanship!
I witnessed!
what a vision murmuring I am alive as the flame of the burning shores
I saw that devastation as an arc of light and I sought it fiendishly
the burning shores murmuring I am alive I am divine
Calypso of the frigid eternities
I was shut in the tomb of my life
vacant black waters from the captive Earth like stigmata in my palms
Siren of the black Albion cliffs and I witnessed—
waterbirds drawing dawn’s dark catacombs
seasons of fire!
I was extinguished
The miracles were killing me
All the stars were radiant lacunae
The universe was ending there was annihilation on the horizon
I didn't care the stars were graves first
Like the singularity I was without origins
And then that event horizon rushed on towards us
