1. Talk, talk

(It is October, and it is June, and

It is all other times the-Now as

In the ancient Egyptian myth: Osiris Ra

Is at the moment of being the beloved by Isis:

He looks back

At the wars with his spirit brother Seth, the original Satan, and forwards, to his son Horus, Himself in Other ways, and,

In the Eternal-Forever-Now, dreams…

"October deep, October deep….")

 

"What's happening brother?

"What's happening sister?"

Spoken of:

A child in a High tide:

Listen to me….

 

2. Gloria: Cursed/praised

 

...I am the worthy of female love

the crow of cock at dawn does not deny the hen:

would to a sleep beyond breakfasting:

I am the comings to a stiffer death...

...I am the worthy of female love

she is holy flesh, wholly as I...

all things the sat on heaven...

...I know, I am the worthy of femaled love

Another has vanquished me...

a spark out-pours the eternity of blythe the knowing of this

and all other times the now...

...I am the river Death of night and day...

...the River's flood will the sap to a Child the Life...

awe! Or-us!...

 

3. Credo: Dismissed

i.

At night’s

A dark bird

Comes

To share my bed

As black and beautiful

As the

Naked

Flesh of the night

She comes

She comes to beat her wings

I wait for her coming with

Vexed

Ravaging of

My heart

For she ravishes

My heart, and

No woman

I have ever loved

Ever-so

Boils my blood to wax…

Each night

As she sits astride my chest she

Pleads with me to

Surrender to her

Caress, be

Like a fledgling to

Her breast…

With each dawn I awake

To find a cuckoo’s egg

Inside my nest…..

Loving you

From the very first yawn

The very first taste of mouth –to-mouth

It’s been like the touch of fingertip to mouth

I’ve learnt to keep my tongue inside my mouth

To love you

And to be beside you

I’ve search the night like the beseeching owl

My hunger and my thirst

Yearns

To be sated with communion in

The cathedral of

Your heart…..

ii.

 

Beg You

forgive the Child the rich in spirit

award them the heaven...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the never mourns

comfort them in heaven...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the assertive

let them inherit Nature...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the always righteous

the spark with sap...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the un-merciful

thank them with righteousness...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the jihad

let them be gOd's children...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the persecute for righteousness

let them inherit heaven...

I beg You....

Beg You

forgive the Child the true voices:

rejoice them with the knowing the blythe of heaven...

for they are the being The Children of the Time...

I beg You to the leave...

 

4. Sanctus: returns the made sacred/profane

October deep...

...if the deep...

...if the deep inside your Nature,

and that the Child is

nevers the sleep and

awakes to a high tide...

if the harvest of September...

the gathering to of crops,

if then the slow rise:

the Flood shall be planted anew...

light day shall be a beckon to

the dark night beyond this life...

... We shall the journey into Heaven

 

5 Benedictus: blessed/turned

Harvested the flood:

Eat!

...Of me the sweet juices of the fruit to wine...

...of me the biscuits...

Of me the living life!

Of me is made concrete...

I am real....

 

7. Naked in asylum

Lover Q., come with the asking, no play: come with my beggar words and a spoken kiss; come with silence and no breaking night: then in truth a dawn into a welcomed sun …

If/so shall I surrender!

If/so shall I surrender and breakfast with a milk and cup …

Come the night the sleep …

Come the night the sleep …

A sleep and kiss, a sleep and kiss …

If/so shall I surrender!

…. And as if a howling wolf, my back was broken like a splinter before the acts …. My back was broken like a splinter before the axe. I walked the road at noon, and even my shadow would no longer follow in my path.

I dreamed of sons, but walked in my father’s land … and it was not my home …

Lover come with the asking; no play: come with my beggar words and a spoken kiss. Gifting love to me with silence, and no breaking night; then in truth a dawn into a welcomed sun: if/so shall I surrender!

If/so shall I surrender!

My father’s hungry smile leered from tamed wolves obedient on the leash. I heard his voices from canaries who would never soar beyond their cage … I stepped across the road and cowered before the cause…

Taller!

Taller than my shoulders reached skyscrapers, taller than my ancestor’s huts, taller than the hunting grounds of their gods. And my back seemed broken as a splinter before the acts …

I dreamed of sons, but walked my father’s land … And it was not my home …

Lover come with the asking …

If/so?

If/so shall I surrender…

I have travelled far, galloping in a wish for the hills; but I sat lazy in the saddle of a bucking horse, watching its frenzied struggle killed …

Surrender!

One day the sun’s son shall no longer ride across the sky. One day my savage spirit will be stilled….

If/so?

If/so shall I surrender…

Turning the pages back, an old man of my tribe, wise in the OLD ways, hugged me! Hugged me in greeting with a smile …

Surrender!

One day the sun’s son shall no longer ride across the sky …

Surrender!

If/so?

Surrender, surrender!

Shall I a return to my brick house?

Surrender!

My woman to take my bitter tongue between her lips ….

I confess….

My night falls with each new sunrise; the sun hides, as you hide from my eyes: I'm wallowing in the darkness of my sins: I awake without you, and my heart breaks as daybreak begins….

But my love, it's allright, it's allright: I know another light will disperse the shadows deep within, but meanwhile, mean while, my soul is darker than the colour of my skin…..

Heard my inner voices:

Met with the Lord…..

If the sleep….

And the sleep/comes

Inner dream….

If the sleep/and dream….

And the dream an inner bliss

The Roaring Silence….

And: all my tears have dried

And all my wasted years

From a wasteland

Turned, a wilderness of grass…..

If the sleep….

And the sleep/comes

Inner dream….

If the sleep/and dream….

And the dream an inner bliss

I rest

I rest….

Exit….

Into Heaven….
