to have but: one thought,
concerning the servitude
of hearts:
is to have the mind of
god confined -
would be like having a mind
confined to be
the tool of instructed bias...
and upon that instrument,
you said your will
to state no genesis,
but the tastimony of
an exodus...
         how welcoming you
were, to savour the taste
of human borne lust...
that you succumbed to it:
and lost the gamble:
ant-like born toward the
perpetuaded setting of conflict!

mind you my father,
for daring to invoke being a son...
mind you, mind you my father,
for daring to invite the shadow
while keeping the caste of apollo
in a shallowest grave
of all possible shallow graves:
in the pundit's worth of shadow:
    an apollo within the breath of hades:
ein grauschattenmond:
   die licht-spendend nacht -
   leben-geben mittel: die glücktakt-
             and i forget...
perhaps i ought to retire,
and learn my english toward
song of: perfecto!
             sometimes striking accord
with a mozart...
   what was it?
               the shallow grave of
a shadow...
     die seicht gruft aus ein schatten...
believe... that's in terrible germanic...
   a bit like asking a chicken to
duck-quack....

i like the imperfection though,
it just means there might be someone
willing enough to correct it...
the message still resounds "correct"...

the shallow grave of a shadow.
