#incorruptible
In the death of death, created, In mutual annihilation Of stars, collapsed and collided: Gold; buried but not corrupted, In the earth but not of earth, Unstained and incorruptible; A mere symbol, void of value But idolatry's very roots; As in reverence for just a name Without knowledge of what's a name Or a person's but an image, For spirit's imperceptible And unknowable in the flesh.

GOLD
Father God The world has provoked my heart into anger My people happily marrying Drinking their affairs asunder Slavery never ends as masters of Earth continue to be Earthly Working on the eyes, people-pleasing While hiding their hearts in the dust and the dreadfully ***** I pray the dust of the Earth seek Your purging See through the fangs of night, Love illuminating Let me be home, into your peace; a nourishing swarm Rest my head against You like a babe, nestled in your arms Rescued my hand to hold Place my heart in Your hands Pierce through heart and soul Love Incorruptible
