Second Lie

("Those who are wise will shine
like the brightness of the heavens ..."
Daniel 12:3)


...Yes!
even with eyes
fixed upon that Elysium,
that Embassy of Pure Emotion,
the Second Lie
is coiled up in my blood
awaiting wounds for swift dispersion ...

Oh!
that hissing ruthlessness!
that deadly mortification:
Untold Guilt
concealed in Silence ...
that calculating Judge
declares:
"You are lost!"

This flesh
cries out: "How long?"
the Answer sealed until
the End of Time;
the Time of End:

"No -
you are not alone!"
The I in me
gradually recuperates as "We"
elevation to that El Dorado:
that Shimmering of Gold!
that Promised Treasure ...

our undeserved Sanctity
