Spagyric Poems | Examples


Sortilegy 427

thanks to the arts she learned in that medieval trivia
and by her steaming daphnomancer's kettle
in the spagyric hour with salts and tubes and crystals
a witch creates and recreates elementals

ahhhh but she in the morning so modern
not silent and arrogant in judging itself eternal
so capable and loquacious forgets the envy of the deceitful people

and then
late in the afternoon tied to a burning pyre
bulging eyes watching the fire crackle
while those who watch in joy
flee scared in the riot
listening to the rustle of dirty old angels' wings
that another soul came to collect.

Spellegio 514

thanks to the arts she learned in that medieval trivia
and by the daphnomancer's steaming kettle
in the spagyric hour with salts and tubes and crystals
a witch creates and recreates elementals

ahhhh but she in the morning so powerful and special
not silent and arrogant in judging itself eternal
forget that fear and envy are universal

and soon after tied to a pyre she burns
bulging eyes watching the fire crackle
while those who watch in joy
flee scared in the riot that no one expect:
it's the drumming of black angels wings
that another dirty soul came to collect

Performing Alchemy

I have become
as spagyric art
A will-o-wisp of the pen 


as each drop of ink falls,
it reflects its alchemy
in my eyes,
like drawing fraternal twins
in a jade sky


I see a measure
of my sadness,
and my joy
presented as balanced scales
perfectly level
but they scatter apart
against a northern wind 


tiger blue dragonflies
possess my mind
and the walls sweat
green moss
symphonic trumpets
herald the flickering


lifted and scorched 
I separate to join,
as I soar 
with the swoon of my art
