They, Thus Created



Black fire

which does not burn

drowns each in the amnion's bliss.

Black fire

athwart the warm-blooded

still mourning the deaths of gods.

The now

self-idolatrous masses

thus, created in their image-

the sensuous abyss.

The sun hangs over this darkness.

We watch it rise and fall,

the moon.



Black fire surrounds us.

Even in Sinaloa

it is raining down.

We can not hear the melody.

We can explain,

we can explain!

Black fire is the engine, is the crucible.



Black fire in the palms of Socrates,

whose optimism quells

the dithyrambic pulse.

At last- we discovered the heavenly farse!

Now we do not need to die.

In one leap, no birth, no death.

A leap without feet or eyes.

Black fire surrounds us

in our image.

The abaddon of the senses

folds unto itself,

the soul and the myth.



Even in Sinaloa

it is raining down

on humanity.

We can hear the melody.

We can explain,

we can explain!




But,

the sun,

moon.
