Love thy neighbor!—by our absence sin visits because we hate to imagine
how to a stranger

In that cold come voids of great opposites
for how to a stranger without a neighbor can love warm
or in its effort this Love thy neighbor become not
what sin will in this cold?

the temporal is what eternity needs to consummate desire
an accomplishment in combustion not even the dark denies
for the blaze of day burns away in the power to love
that being being the becoming to come

the new year

an excess of death makes the deity extant—an ecstasy so conspicuous that only increase can exhaust it

love is a fulfilling when by its fruits
we are made hungry in eternity

a gaunt deity

to stand in expectation before fire where the shadow cast by out-stretched wings reveals the love that is alive in the flame

that might otherwise be as when night falls those asleep are entirely
in the shade of this expectancy

which is to be—this burning

being an expectation that begins
when we wake
in the icarian sea

A Cretan Tree

promised to it is that by love is life everlasting
for in love is the longing that lives in eternity
a desire that is god’s despair in love’s absence

The Strife

excessive death

make of it the strife that thrives by force then chasten these exquisite promiscuities; make of it the black heaviness to refuse the re-use of light then even it will be extinguished—the vital never to grow old, never in corruption be
the god by this, a golden mean!

Icarus

this endeavoring

forever & without bound is alone what love can promise a lifetime—itself
the eternity a bacterium surrounds
