|
caught when i was still a child |
|
by a terrible vision of my Christ |
|
and caught in the throat by your signs and tears and goodbyes |
|
|
|
i picked me up |
|
and walked too far |
|
with thought of no return |
|
and not to see your face again and drowning all my hopes |
|
and wishing no longer upon stars |
|
|
|
believing |
|
no longer in moonlight |
|
or other dreams or other fields |
|
upon all of which we so beautifully play |
|
i saw a waste of all |
|
|
|
and so i put away |
|
all talk of death's heads |
|
and a little glimpse is a bloodblossomed force |
|
and all talk of apocalypse |
|
|
|
Apocraphon and Apollyon |
|
Abaddon |
|
all abandoned |
|
then i saw in myself the bowl and a gun |
|
and the glory that was to come |
