noirs (the unrated artist - for odilon
redon)
blinded by evil glory
a large bird
descends from the eye balloon
hurtling itself against her hair
within the precarious glimmering of
haunted light
in a window
within the precarious glimmering of
haunted light
the ghost of christ
in the shape of a serpent
closes its eyes
avoiding evil glory
the seated woman's fear of battle
is only heightened by the precarious
glimmering
of haunted light
while
the baptist & saint anthony
tempted by the serpent christ
watch their heads roll from platters
toward the
trees on a rocky slope
@ daybreak against the blue sky
near a beach of rocks
touched by the precarious glimmering
of haunted light
thru the window of a fishing boat
where christ the serpent
& a seated woman battling fear
reside among the black winged angels
& a winged horseman &
a centaur who aims his arrows
@ the clouds
while descending toward hell
@ the bottom of a well
where the precarious glimmering
of haunted light lies
trapped
within the degeneration of imaginary figures
where fairy convicts dwell
beside a burning sobbing bodiless orpheus
& a hideous smiling polyped cyclops
whose eye is shattered by the precarious glimmering
of haunted light
as he questions his feet & where they might take him
he planted on the earth
like a tree on a rocky slope
near a beach of rocks where a fishing boat waits
in the murky light which is very much different tho similar to
the precarious glimmering of haunted light
where within the window the serpent christ sits
opening toward terror
onto the backdrop of our nights
& the germination of stars
while tempted by sanity
the heart has its reasons for creating evil glory
from a precarious glimmering of haunted light
where the beautiful woman closes her eyes
& touches her hair while battling fear as the bird
settles down
builds a nest in her hair
making death's head the only real juror now.
