Biography

 Then rose and shone the rain

Of falsehood's stain,

Then wounded fell and ailed the flame

Of blood's domain.

With phalanxes trained faithfully

In hell's design,

Perfumed with bones unutterably

Of sight's decline.

There rose the absolute retreat

In arrogance,

Denied,the unsubstantial feat

Life's plea to dance.

A willing silence was required,

And then you cried,

The moment's debt was then acquired,

And then you sighed.

Irresponsibly, you weigh the lamb,

Unhopedly,

Impelled,you seize the steam and ram

Most ably.

I stand against the windless mountain's might,

Fatally,

I gaze upon dream's thread,a trite

Sight,vulgarly.

I quarrel with the azure sky's domain

In memory,

And break the void unseen,the pain

In its knee.

I charge each atheist virtue, every grace,

Antenna-high,

And spit upon a holy conduit's face

Companionably.

I believe the All is quite enough to be

With you,

And err as some grotesque,misshapen tree

In birth anew.

Grant me a little fortitude, I plead,

Tonight,

To bind the soul that wanders without creed,

And smite.

Unnatural seems the small and fragile head

So light,

Upon the mortal zenith's edge,now spread

Afresh,in night.

I set ablaze the wrong and right alike

With pen,

And from the prodigal son did strike

In birth again.
