holy holy holy

See now the top rung
lights of the world,
both called holy:

here top the Ladder of the Moon,
Holy Roman Emperor;

there top the Ladder of the Sun,
Holy Father, Bishop of Rome.

Two lights with brides
in triumphal train,
a juggler and a madman
or, with irony perchance,
a holy fool and true:

the other two outshone.​

Triumph of Increasing Light

Triumph of Increasing Light

The fruit of the tree, the triumph
Of the seed and ever increasing
Seeds of star light.

The lion seeks the light
And sleeps with eyes open, his triumph
Roars over death, they say, increasing

Courage as increasing
Are the signs to sacrifice the light.
It is a blood baptized triumph;

This triumph of increasing light.​

one two threesome

one two threesome

a papal cross
two brothers and the father:
confess

an archer god
two women and the lover:
caress

a chariot
two horses and the rider:
congress

of lovers,
in body and soul,
of praise, of the flesh, and of gold.​

Aceldama

Aceldama

Nature lies crucified,
like a rebelious slave,
on a legion of crosses
marching the earth.

Like a row of coffin bearers
predatory pylons carry
its slaughtered corpse:
meat processed and packaged
to feed the power hungry needs
of progress.

Like the sun,
the waters shall rise again,
fall and flood:

our crosses stand tall
above the fields of blood.​
