The Deluge
The wild winds are starting fresh fires in the west. Witness the bright rivers in the skies, I want to drink whiskey in the winter sunrise, I want to be crushed by desire. I confess, I’m taken by reveries, my heartbeat remains in arrest, I’m Eve dreaming in eternity. The dream, the deluge. Beloved. Won’t you die from desire with me?
When you call my name, the fallen angels scream to celebrate their victory
Desire burned like wild anguish in me
Your voice is a knife at my spine, witness your resurrectionist, I die and die again for desire
The dream the deluge
Arrows of Eros passed through my house of bones
Desire incinerated me like fires on shores of brimstone
I begged and begged: oh drown in my my throat, Eros! and a new world rose!
The reckoning! of Being! Desire made such a rich ruin of me!
Yes I gazed into the thunderheads’ solemn eyes, how I adore being brutalized (by desire)
Feeding the silent scavengers my bones, I staggered from the darkness
Call me Madonna from morning to midnight
At your bed, I lavish the chained beast, the basilisk desire
That deity awakening in the black before daybreak
Desire the barbiturate burning my tongue as fire from flint, I witness the infinite
The midsummer moon regards me like I am the marred one
At the shrine of desire, I am your mistress and siren
The western sea swells to witness me in ecstasy
I’m taken by reveries, desire, you made a great ravine of me
Les rêves! Les rêves! Teeth threading into my flesh
I need you like a sedating needle delivered to my neck
Desire made me a radiant grave, I kneeled for mercy
Midnight pilgrim, I arrive at the pandemonium of desire
May the scorching horizons bring calamities, how I adore being brutalized
I confess that I am your daughter desire
Witness Orion wheeling in scimitars of fire
At the galaxies' banks of flames, I witness the infinite
The dream the deluge
Oh beloved I want you to wound me
In the tides of night desire like a blessed bruise bloomed
And yes I—receive—the—deluge
Desire you bring me to the exalted end and yes I walked out of that darkness again I am I am
