Vision of Jules Doinel

Christ awakened Dionel from the death-filled night 
Whose heart bloomed with the Cathar’s fire 
Syzygos brought the age of new gnosis to light 
Christ awakened Dionel from the death-filled night 
To be Valentinus, his Church back in daylight 
Graced with Montségur’s black crozier 
Christ awakened Dionel from the death-filled night 
Whose heart bloomed with the Cathar’s fire

Returning

You come home, sitting on my shoulders.
I bid you farewell at door. Death tiptoes in dark
before looking at the bare hands. A new concept of
ending comes out from crozier. Uncoiling has stopped.
In loincloth a truth unravels the mystery of cells. A
warm transparency. You walk around objectively,
returning the gifts to birds, bees and aspens. It
was time not to put up excuses. The wings are tired
and wind was falling.

           Let the dance of nothingness start !

Blackened Crozier

Let it remain
ovarian pure. After strangulating
the truth,
for hypoxic euphoria.

Flies in your face
the dirt,
the denial, the terracota
of superposition of speech
hiding self-interest.

Blackened crozier
for wrinkeled crotch
drops the ashes of love
on unopened buds.

Weeping willow sways
in warm winds of prayers.
Strawberry in holes
nothing like bruise.
