Sonnet Ten

X

I give you blossoming Malkuth and Sol and Luna,
All the arrows of purification, quicksilver and quintessence
For your black hair and the whites of your eyes,
For the yellow puzzle in your heart’s red whistling

Where the spinning essence laughs at the lies
The border guard is telling and swims through
The ribbons of Kether now becoming a golden ankh
Gliding through tearful waters, kissing the warm blue stones.

And I, in my Kairos, in
Saturn’s melting lead, kneel and
Offer you my salty heart

As a badge of your completion,
As a shiny silver balloon to bounce
At the unnameable frenzy of G-d.
