Once carcass is cold no rest in hearts And no predictive eyes strong to see What lies beyond nepenthe. So teach me what is death! Down to absolute To where emptiness Breeds and slithers, mute To where my hunger ends...
Forbidden ever this domain of mine My beloved; Relish the flesh and wine Relish life; but allow death to be A tale, a legend, Mistery.
A transience of it all...
What is in flesh? A cerement to clothe. Gift seemingly absurd...
Watch calmness leaves the man For he is me, the inquiring And till blood warms tongue The passing stuns...
Out of this lot Terrestrials await Out of this lot To where my thirst I'll slake
Pacific cold bewitches the dying eyes Far beyond the brink no entry twice Beware to question the abysm For its lesson is last; and secrecies are grim.
