Jupiter |
My father, working nights |
First shift, eternal light |
The curse of Adam labor |
Outside, in the parking lot |
The current of wind and the light went hot |
He held his head in terror |
By jove and by surprise |
The current of lightning filled with light |
It burned his hands with symbols |
White noise as Lucifer |
The sacred fire, the sacred fern |
Conceived with holy water |
His radiance in the dark |
Mysterious shape or beauty mark |
As if it were Minerva |
Breastplate of Jupiter |
The hovering deep, he spoke the word |
The light, the virgin creature |
All dreams and all disease are fantasy features, ill-conceived |
Illusions worth remembering |
My father, late at night |
Forbidding death, he kissed the light |
As Jupiter transfigured |
I need you to change me, prevent you, persuade me |
By jove |
I need you, sensation, my virtue, persuasion |
By jove |
Father of light |
Father of death |
Give us your wisdom, give us your breath |
Summoner says that Jupiter is the loneliest planet |
Red right eye |
Put in its place |
Under your foot, carpenter’s cape |
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet |
Floundering star |
Failed that you are |
Fevering pitch |
Figure of speech |
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet |
Say it with faith |
Say it with force |
Say it to my face |
Put me in place |
Sermon of death says Lucifer is the only conquest |
Hurricane heart, hurricane haste |
Wandering star, pick up your pace |
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the only contest |
Father of light |
Father of death |
Give us your wisdom, give us your breath |
Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet |
