strange mix of skylight eye and throbbing heavy heart

becomes to starry soul some corrupt corrosive thing

this fearsome alchemy that takes two God-sent gifts

producing poison while darkness lifts leathery to take wing

what lost and broken art enfolds the golden comely curve

to mingle midst life’s earthen fleshly drumbeat

this bringing in of outside things to mesh with maker’s mark

somehow does shake and shudder seek my spirit to unseat

how stop this animus attack upon the shoreline of soft psyche

no one can seek to unshutter ever-young unblinking eye

which leaves the lonesome king of darkened  ivory hall wrapt

consumed by one life-giving lost buttress –

                                                            his ever empty sigh

exorcise then this possessed and fruitless ruler

let his force-full and filled once holy silver-ringing home

end eye’s rule that floods mind’s seat a swamp and sewer

burst forth from throne room’s windowed heavenly dome

a driven holy gaze fueled in a furnace of eternal life

ending once for all the killing world’s draining serpant strife
