Poem
Holy Spirit of the Stars Father and Sun Beautiful calamity Whispers thee to sing. Cry hero For Angels dwell here no longer But watch. Serpent Envious, green Subtlety of the Earth An Earth with splendor of God If not greater! The pleasure of pain Matched only by murder Life sentence in Heavenly prison Foliage to fire Dust to dust. A Garden divided Must fall! For luxury comes greater With restraint; good things To those who wait! But love? What is it if not matrimony? The Holiest of Unions? Separation condemned! Lock me up In Adam’s rib! If only for fear of fruitful Over faithful. O, sweet taste of sinner’s steps Beautiful fangs drip Venom of revenge Juice of forbidden fruit Vanity Lust Wisdom Dust Hunger and thirst at once In love with the image of myself I see in you. Absence Cruel Adoration without grieving Nothing worth keeping! Eat, darling Only a taste worth dying for Is worthy of your tongue For with a fall comes A rise! A wounded Earth Mourns the taste of Death But Love! Dear Love only Mourns that Death taste as life So it partakes And partakes And partakes each time. Greedy love! O God, so generous to mourn Gives comforting design to the fallen.
