| The algebras of the earth speak the worth
|
| To draft the laws, the vale, the midwife birth the key,
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| The speck on the bone
|
| Grown to size by the poems
|
| Coax the passions from the stone,
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| Iron antlers fill the sky,
|
| Metal organs fertilize,
|
| Sparks and ingots come alive,
|
| The chemistry of common life,
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| Here but for the spinning of a sphere,
|
| Electric skies and vibrations rise the breach,
|
| the birth, the seed inside,
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| Silver plated chaste embryo awakened by the touch
|
| From the mater, the mother, the magnificence, the matter,
|
| The river of steel that flows from high holy rods
|
| Unite the dead to God creation,
|
| The seal opens to touch the sky,
|
| Aflame with life it burns beyond
|
| To proclaim a marriage, a chemical bond
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| Eruptions from below the sleeping face,
|
| Molten veins and golden grains,
|
| The power, the ecstasy, the grace,
|
| The chemistry of common life
|
| Here but for the spinning of a sphere
|
| Tease the heavens that sanctify the sky,
|
| Liquid life poured down excites the ores,
|
| Ignite the crust, inseminate the dust,
|
| The cultured quartz that rises high,
|
| The stone refined that lives and shines,
|
| Be the vessel, be the knife
|
| Stone and metal come to life
|
| In the crux the cross divine
|
| The shell, the purpose, the sublime
|
| Fill the chalice with the blade,
|
| Wed the maker to the made,
|
| Grow the divine from profane,
|
| Let the shining never fade
|
| Between the crystal and the womb,
|
| Astride the pistil and the tomb,
|
| Create from parts that were a man
|
| The stars, to hum their song again
|
| Fill the chalice with the blade,
|
| Wed the maker to the made,
|
| Grow the divine from profane,
|
| Let the shining never fade,
|
| Be the fire in the ice,
|
| The chemistry of common life. |
