Four on the fold;
Turned within:
Coil and Pyramid
An eye for an eye makes
No world deaf
No love held
No life had
Not a moment here
Or a road in sight
[...]
Once upon a time, when
you, like him along the Rhine
Thought of your reflection,
Mutable in the current
You too grasped that chance for
No representation, no reality
Beyond that weariness
Yet
Your pain, you didn’t know
Became the king’s austerity
[...]
Cloak and Dagger, a dove came
In the night like a thief on the hour arrived
Unexpectedly, inexplicable as
A sickness or sage or words to tell why
Why?
Why?
Why me?
She too stole that power from,
Usurping the crown from above
Reason, elevated unto
—Passed down from—
Hand in hand in the Court of the heart
And here yet again
Yet again you’re here!
