The opulent skies in consonance with
the song of the rain return the cross
to the tree limb when the irresistible
desire of the flesh becomes
the absolute enemy of the order.
For the ever-shortsighted man,
the manmade code, the blindfold
Goddess of justice torments
splendorous bodies with sharpened fangs.
Flesh, the ancient gift of the gods
is turned into the ghetto’s enemy:
yet, flesh always springs out
from the ecclesia’s punishments
and the always-ready crucifiers
like a reborn phoenix
like the strongest albatross.
The opulent skies in euphony hymning
the operatic music of Eros as
the hymeneal endurance of flesh
graces the Kore’s smoothness
with everlasting renewal and
pain is just a concept while
death becomes a springboard.
