Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 37I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly

And he, a strange, distant friend

And drew a line against the number vast.
There Saul, upon one mountain, made a stand,
To face the other tribe across...

In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

War Is a War CrimeOnce wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -

The trajectory of wrath.
The conciliatory legislation blindly ruling the cosmos of...

Silence
calculated and distinct
conspiring with rules
plays within the

is caught in the web
silvery and slippery
