Thanks for the moment before dreams.

Moment of clarity, relations,

work, conversation, god,

whiskey, sleep, thanks, EASY.

ABOUT THE PSEUDO ST. DIONYSIUS

For him the cosmos was a pearl, hell

contagious at its center, and around it

a burnt-out crust of earth

cooled but not cured by wild salt water.

Then, set as seals against this ill,

in laminated spheres in turning spheres,

rose heavens of pure shifting light.

However, he despised such jewelry,

and through the ninefold veils of shells

that censored him from love, he prayed

to burst like trees from seeds,

slowly in final Spring, and reach the heart

of the empyrean self-curing oyster-god

who should be everywhere beyond his search,

holding his flaw in brilliant quarantine.
