Promontory

(Confinement in Universe Fissures) 
Madonna of the nightmare crags 
It was stabbing daylight like stalactite skies
The Vatican was Vacant 
Madonna of the Rhizomes and the Recurrences 
Madonna of the black wharfs  
Under a shriek of skies the power lines were obelisks 
Madonna of the cradle darkness 
I shouted into the God Grave 
Madonna was a shattered saint!
From gutter to god, smothering oblivion
Madonna of the odyssey voyages 
Madonna the Maiden overcast 
Madonna of the oracle offspring 
Madonna she was a nocturne offering 
Madonna I was a-wandering lost thing 
The miracles were dissipating
Madonna of the lasting Devastations 
Madonna of the drifting Rhizomes
Madonna before I was a wisdom
Madonna of the moth corridors
Madonna of the reservoirs 
Madonna she was a Devourer 
Axis Mundi Madonna I witnessed 
The deities abdicating arsenic skies 
It was an impoverishing of light 
Madonna I wanted the devastations
There is devotion in Descent
Madonna of the night horizons
Madonna of the explosions 
Madonna of the drowned countries 
Madonna of the Mirror Singularities 
Madonna of the Avalanches 
Madonna of the dark Niles 
Madonna creation was a sacred violence 
Madonna had the prophecy of the vortex 
Invalid in the infinite prison Being 
She was a firefly interval
Madonna of the corpse moons
She lived in labyrinths of light, it was desire
Battered Madonna heralded the dark marches 
Madonna of the Miasmas 
Madonna bore the engraving of every black January
My new year wish is extinction! 
Absolution Madonna of the Madhouses 
Madonna of the whirlwind waters and the maelstrom jetties 
She sleepwalked in the singularities 
MADONNA THE FORGER IN THE NEW MOON NIGHT
MADONNA OF OBSIDIAN OBLIVION I WANTED A NEW LIFE 
Wild-eyed with panic I vanished into black briars 
Madonna furnished my eyelids with the fractalized dark 
Madonna left a flooded world without the Ark 
Madonna of the virgin wilderness she triumphed 
The flint—the fire—the fever—the flood 
The world was an aborted embryo  
Madonna the portent bridegroom of doorless desolation 
Even grief was a redemption 
Madonna of the Wolfing World 
Her footfalls were in carnal communion with oblivion 
Madonna of the disembodied gods
The injuries! of solitudes!
Madonna of hieroglyphs and clocktowers
She was a prophet of the peripheries 
Madonna of the poison hours 
I said Miriam flesh is an execution 
Vespers eve, night of the viper 
I thought the salvation of the serpent was survival 
Madonna of the Wild magics and visions 
Madonna in a cauldron of Chaos 
Madonna there was arsenic in the liquor skies 
I wrestled with demons of the deep
Kaleidoscopic Madonna she was an absence like me
When the rest of Heaven was furnished with Blue 
Madonna of the angel abandonments 
Madonna, I resurrected you 
Madonna of catastrophes and commotions 
Madonna it was a violence she chose
The Eternal Return running into ouroboros
God was a sarcophagus 
Madonna the Mimic burning in a mimicry of fire 
It was desire
Madonna of vertigo and void 
Madonna of the incoherences I survived 
Ascension was shapeshifting 
Madonna of the shadow revelations
I was on the brink haunted and animatronic 
Madonna of the Machines 
She shattered the sacred
Intoxicated by The Miracles
Madonna the navigator arose in a sabotage of smoke and starlight 
Raiding the Maenad Darkness 
Madonna split the reliquary deities in half 
Madonna of the whistling apocalypse
Every dream was a resurrection 
Madonna of the river spines 
Madonna of the coffin gods 
Pyre pilgrims surviving that Butcher of liminal Time 
Madonna she beguiled the wind to die with the light 
Life was a wandering fatality 
Madonna of the murmuring raptures 
Madonna she was starved and staked in the night’s ribcage  
All the pains were fossils in the riversides 
Namesake and coroner of Chaos 
I witnessed a bewilderment of starlings 
Madonna I was fracturing like the dark 
Poisoned by killing griefs
Madonna every miracle was a crucifix 
Madonna of the parading apostles I witnessed 
Madonna every malady was a miracle 
Madonna forgot the thousand names of God 
The days darkened in scandals
Minnows suiciding in black lakes
Madonna of the mandrakes 
Relentless the Earth was a wandering quake 
Madonna of the fossil riversides 
Madonna of the asphodels and blackberry births 
All the Cathedral angels sang requiems for the kingdom of ribs 
Barefoot Madonna of the ecstatic plague Nightfall 
In a baptism of trees yes I revived her 
Madonna was messenger of the damned 
The world was quarantined into the stillness of stone
You left for the heights like wayfaring flames 
In the hour of the organs the Underworld
Held Ceremonials for Cerberus 
Madonna of the crashing stars 
She was a vessel for vanished Eden
Firstborn doe in the dead wolf den 
Abyss angels nailed to widowing fire
Even the hangman had a hallelujah
Madonna of the Storm Scriptures 
Desire like a naiad on the riverbanks 
Madonna they said she was speechless and she spoke 
Madonna I resurrected and revived 
And she rose!
