Let for one moment a faith statement
Rule the blank sheet of sleep,
The virgin lines be mated with a circle.
A circle spins. Let each revolving spoke
Turn and churn nightseed till it curdle.
Let for one moment a faith statement
Strip the dreams’ livery,
And gods be changed as often as the shift.
God is the same though he be praised as many,
Remains though gods be felled till none are left.
Let for one moment a faith statement
See the first living light,
And your maieutic slumber drag it forth.
The child tells, when the trembling chord is cut,
God shall be gods and many deaths be death.
