Terra's crown, by lambent gossamer illumined,
focused light on dwellers below.
Heaven's gaze shewn down as albumen
and unveiled galvanic substrate sous la peau.
Twin spires by the sea forlorn
beckon fair pilgrims o'er plain and thorn.
"Hark!" cry they to the men unshorn,
"On ye alone rests yonder morn!"
Fingers tremble asoft a winter lake;
ghastly whispers blossom o'er ______'s wake:
a time to mourn lest devils make
true all desires earthly 'fore Morningstar's break.
Wings of jasper
cover thee
as ageless fire,
frothing sea,
and prophecy
will soon retire.
The halls danced with music electric,
ever softly solemn, and spared
a moment upward — hanging squares
framed not a mountain but a mare.
