A blinding light, and then once more upon
The groaning, a mind cascading, so far the
Ancient sun; crushed beneath the maws
Of preternatural horror, moons dissolving,
Unwept the boundless stars. Evanescing of
The air, silent screams upon the half-light,
A lone book burning, wistful tears of the crimson
Tallow: and my only companion Death’s
Gelid hand. And then once more upon the
Gloaming: racing over the sparkling mesmeric
Sands, ebbing were the waters; two birds
Dallying, mares surrounding – waning nights
Of the ghostly shadow; indomitable stood
The sea of adamantine towers: an exquisite
Apple, eating ful by the fire, mother’s hallowed
Love. Primordial was the chalice on the
Shores of Palestine, the dance of dappled
Dreams, a final breath that kissed the dawn:
Unto the last song sighing beyond the empyreal
Azure sky – and then the shroud of silence
