In the Garden
Non Serviam
Light falls,
respects
no source.
Said, done:
light bends,
time dilates.
Emit, detect
nothing, heaven, limit.
Transgress.
And,
the compact
impure,
suggests sacraments.
The very idea,
true thing.
Knowledge is a beautiful crime.
their teeth bite
Eat what you can get:
blood, malice, love.
with the virgin’s lute,
or sated with her love”
William Blake
I served what animates
evoked, varied, twisted it,
coiled it
like a serpent.
I myself was served.
Memory, madness, error:
I served perception,
demolished beauty, light,
defeated sun, moon, sun.
