Shrivelled weak hands

To shake off the dust and shimmer
Slowly move back to folded arms
Hands that...

The test of time, I'd stand
doing whatever is true, noble, right and praiseworthy...

to finally make it in
to sacred UniversalYang/UnitarianYintegral
iconology,
doxology,
eulogy,
ecotherapeutic theology,
green ecofeminist ecology,

for long his coffins had not been bought
debt-ridden and worried he was in the shop

Flies of FateFly! Fly! Fly!
In the field of Reeds,
Walk through golden breeze,
Smell the scent of allure,
Clear sky and clearer mind.
Fate! Fate! Fate!
Promise me the world over,
Promise me you wouldn't leave the prey.
Destroy all I love.
Grant me intoxicated blithe.
And let the flies of fate rain glory.
Burn! Burn!...
