Paer One: Stasis to Statues

 

1
The elaborate craft finally reached the green pastures of Mercury where even the Trees day-d
ream of leaving the Great White Soul at the Centre    it cracks   streaks   that one Love
you lost      you could smell the scent of
Saturn dripping from her skin her light 
eyes like rodent holes   bones blessed badly
she directs the craft    her ghostly thoughts but I command the Planet

On the surface now as if we have always been here   her apparition detects pariahs Pharaoh-llike   the natives had no defence against us   

 

there was violence 

 

but it is never the way you think    boiled snails rarely attempt escape    set up camp
weird arrows flew our hours  dammed 
my search for sustenance in thick soil  mind over mind

third day arises no darkness on this side 
of Mercury    that Physical  Source above 
never lessens but forever forces fire 
finally I found a Path in the shadowed fields where once there were springs  a great bowl
of dust     it leaps when kicked    slinks shy
lizards anomalous among Earthings  limbed
beings with a single eye slinked alright in
infinite 8 or is it 
9 I hardly know ye
the camp now a station on the move moving more roving without horizon 
I move like an old blonde dog lumbering
building various Temples and one just for
me where I honour my primordial Source
without the prying of the awakened dead with the best intentions eg…mass shooters also thought it best and the World Grid burned unaccompliced returned stateless to where odd flowers bloom cruelly in hope
that the One Who Is will Will their desires His Body long since broken by the motions 
the fluid-dwellers crucify all hearts creations of their own     bored bare
                                                              survival

did the numbers and by right we should be 
dead already but 13 you beaut 9 knows the Planets love us more than we know and we found food and fury 
breaks the link between spite and guilt she
did not die but left   all went with her I wished her all the best and supplies were 
exchanged    estranged within days my 
camp now all to myself      Sol beamed 
a Being slathering strange waters we call
light     Light is the air your pours drink 
emotions are the devils that get you and 
Asteroth has nothing to do with this

Pleasant disquiet in the striding light   
the heat makes all thoughts crispy     dry
I can't see their camp from here    her memory gory as small g gods she demands
sacrifice  bread and silver at first 
then it escalates         bloodletting becomes 
normality amid billboards explaining extinction in bright colours     I close my
eyes seek the many stars in there of which 
the One sends without compensation   my 
station flourishes the flowers all wise 
awake to a human brain  here on Mercury 
mind is all and All is Mind
Eris visits her Palace of pain     an apple banished by discord thrives again over there where I am blind             blind             blind

Sol antics admonish us           our presence
slowly over time      my worship of the Nameless One   not an iota of the Image
and her across the green plains of Mercury
with gilded liquid 
iron it made mad stains on the statues 
careless need for every beating aorta  red
everywhere and not an animal or infant in
sight Eris since left
the flare enflamed my cycles   washed my 
filth away     gave me words to know to
love to know      sharing is daring in a dark 
place and the sudden sheath of the Sun burned her sins and kissed my head
my camp is now a station sanctified  as
months pass new faces pass and pass 
the pastures remain but the forests are crying the trees screaming sap for sapiens 
I greet new souls as best I can with what
I have learned to love first Love later this 
time a beast with both lobes strobing 
Thank God there are no mirrors here 
I want the creature I have cultivated all 
to myselves
