Serpentine... Fruit ophidian... Gifting... Root-Sin...

Viperous... Oh, so snakely... Gifting... Truth-bin...

Sweet rapture-I see who am-lie

Me, shelter... Afar, Afar

Fire-Frost, Father... Bearer, Butcher, Mother...

Invert-eyed I fruitify to see

And self-deserted I choose to be tree

Root-vampire of land

Brute seeker, nature-damned

Somebodyness... Memorylessness...

Unlonelyness... Togetherlessness...

It gains, gains way

We see the mind is forging the man

Blooming all has gone away... in pain.

While I-Child... As I-Progeny

When I-Cub... Since I-man to be

Alone Still, though rains grey no more

Befoul Still, I pour no rain

Lone Still - He rains grey no more

Befoul Still - Rain’s broke as

It gains, gains way

We see the mind is forging the man

Blooming all has gone away... again,

And again, and again, and again...

Again.
