| Once the virulent storm has died
|
| Like crawling infants you will stride
|
| The hardest shall be the first tread
|
| When facing the steep mountain ahead
|
| But before long you shall be set free
|
| As lion and horned beast hold battle
|
| In dispute over your valuable crown
|
| Until finally both beasts lie down
|
| Equally glad and equally weary
|
| Sole and sublime that crown of yours
|
| In the gray frosty void of the abyss
|
| Watch the flame beyond the wall
|
| Raise the crown toward your bliss
|
| Its twelve stars filling the silence
|
| And solitude with a raging music
|
| And a motion silent indivisible
|
| You shall sit enthroned upon the invisible
|
| Metamorphis of the maggots
|
| Your eyes fixed on that which is nothing
|
| Beyond anything that thought or trance can reach
|
| Metamorphosis of the maggots
|
| Ascend now, brood of the abyss
|
| Your right hand grithing the azure rod of light
|
| While the left is gripping the red scourge of death
|
| Girdled by a snake more brilliant than the sun itself
|
| The great omnipresent serpent whose name is eternity
|
| Full of knowing your mouth curved moon
|
| Like in a grinning smile
|
| Poised forward kissing nuit, the lady of the stray abodes
|
| Metamorphis of the maggots |
