Heaven’s not the end
We return, again
Christ! we are reborn
Suffering evermore
//
Untigered
On tigers, my son, it is said
Tis preferable to chase than catch
And indeed i've spent
Many nights in youth
Skulking moonlit Rue St. Honoré
For that elusive amber flash -
The truth?
We built a magic box.
Minute and unseen are its parts,
"Like nothing else in Tennessee"
And you would fain
to sink in deep
Let every facet
Flash and dance,
Each gilded puzzle stupefy,
And bring us all to blissful states...
But years pass.
I'm less content
Resentful, still.
I never saw
the bushes stir
to admit the sacred guardian fawn
Foltchaín, in her snow-white pelt,
Nor have I snared the tiger's tail.
The tigers all are gone.
"You concern yourself with worldly powers,
But the outcomes never change!"
ETOMIR lies ahead.
I cannot stay.
I leave you this ring.
I leave you the magic box.
Ahead lies ETOMIR.
I will go ahead
Let consciousness be stole away
Return its form to common clay
Return me, ETOMIR, to clay
And mold from it a perfect sphere
Where weaving spiders cannot stray
An icon, empty, terrible,
Who cannot recognize his son
Or any magic word or art -
Like nothing else in Tennessee.
-Digital Primitives
All Tomorrows:
I can stand
Against this dawn
Without fear of wind or vertigo
Splitting seconds at their secret seams
To return me to my Sender
And though this craving
(dissolution)
Flays my flesh and breaks my bones
I can stay awhile
For a love outlasting
All Tomorrows
