Meanwhile, back in the real worldI compass the weatherAnd wonder if I love youIs the verb, the first and foundThe first sound that shone forthThe, the first formed fleshThe finger pointing to the pit, the beastThe thumb staining the gownClaiming the throat in the crowdSunny are the firefliesThe night stuck so close around themTheir beams bold in the blacknessClumping the dark before themThrow little lightningsOn the shell boxesAnd the peep sheen showLures the baby to its deathBoys into centuriesThat is how they made themSaddle black helicoptersPlace Royalty in their tiny windowsThe dodo, the doomAll that breed and boldThe cheque leads the masterAbove the marvelous call of Christ the''Comet fireball'' above youAnd under your feetIs the heart that will pull you downwardsClown wards into the unemptied crateThat hisses and chattersAbove the crates of bliss and ciphersAre emptyThe place, the noon is emptyThe analysis queues and arrows soarFly, fly, fly the eaglesBack to the joker and the furniture veneerI waited in the snowFor the flowers to unsleepAnd petals to become landscapeAnd the laughing boat to sailTo send over the towers of the villageBut you better meanwhileAlways, BabylonWas breathing and bubbling ''Flame''And ''Fires'' flying in the scar marshesOf the stars ''Baal Storm''Put yourself in my placePut your face in my maskThe hated taskmasterIn the troubled heartThat burrows deepest into the slit I stoleThe oven ''Boils''The laundry soiledMundane massacre in NH7 die in the street or the ChurchOr under the canopy of the cliffsRed the soilAnd lamblike the cloudsClambering over the Semitic cedarsOf beautiful LebanonThe lily is snatchedInto the ravineBut the hook, the handThe honors and your calves sped byIn the twilight of ''Baal Storm''Sing omega, sing omegaDo not let omega sing youOpen the door to left and rightHell but in the ascentTo the ''Blood flood''That lambs downThe wound wayWonderfulOn the way down the highwayTo the heightsThe stones slept by sulphurBut mainly wax was the moonSun shone on the saltThe columns of praiseDown we trippedThe loaded trance way''Salaam, salaam''The thistles cover up the hooves of the ''Storm''Crayon and chalk streaks in my handI stripped my mind and soul awayAnd hastened the faceOf the imperfect ''Storm''Her craters dreaming of the perfect darkHerded sawnThe split of the atomThe infinite leakLeaches syllables like snowFrom the central crownThe dirt ascendantThe prickly ''Fires''Of the last night twistThe crease of the eyes''Boiling'' in the faceWho stares from the trenchesThe mask of starsThe plants which joustStruggle for the exit trainI saw the dragonflies alightIn their split second gloryMy mind was on the lineOn which the night soil driftedHow dear was metalHow precious the milkHow murderous the cornThe barley, the wheatYour flaxen hair, the ''Cliché'' sang'As golden crop on the Rhine'But watch for ''Storms'', inclement weatherFreaks of nature, the ruby cowAshen in a three day templeWatch for the wood of bloodThe witches dancing tightlyThe light fantastic, sing oh singDon't let the world download you quiteAs quaint as the song soundsSing away the rust on the throatIn the Marian blue boatI glance at the pots, the shardsSearch for ''Ostraca'' in the hieratic stainPoor memes of breastplatesAnd lances and armorThe master archer grows arrows in the groveBefore your pagan fallThe olive groves held godsDreams leaked onto tonguesAnd shed lotsIn the cool olive eveningBefore Sodom and saltSet the world on ''Fire''The ''Breeze'' picked up
