Spring Oath
grief and misery in me restless dire reign
from thick and heavy slumber winter break
unfolding oath of first-born discord
hidden in deepest well from Divine gaze, gorge
heavy, ‘til ruptured, lift shadow to light
dragging from darkest hollow, mortal madness made.
delirium, lifeless, languish no more!
but, from under trumpet fire
dreadful wrath embrace
unleash in waves of vengeance, voiding
silence, waking fever burning glory
until violent bloom devours.
now, in torrent, rivers engulf
entangling limb and branch
twisting mad lovers, earth foam caress
spinning pagan frenzy, Danu arise
root and rage tumble ecstasy
seduce in shallow breaths, under shades of twilight green.
sweet silhouettes from moon three quarter wax
upon beast and billow, wisp alight
and from heaven’s dome, set aurora blush
spreading lux fire revelation, mocking night
jealous sun, peeking, leeward leers
arching eastern furnace fingers flex afar,
lusts hungry hot.
~winter, fret not
spring cut in line
maybe I helped a bit
just this one time
