A new future Language?

I suggest we may need
to better read
a wordless One
to ingest the meanings
coaxed into stone
set in place
(like remnant bones)
aeons ago
in Egyptian gardens
across Sirian gulfs...

deluged, submerged
for centuries but intact
reigning desert-bound since-
a complete revelatory
gift-symbolique*
for those with eyes
and devotion to see
inscriptions
predicting our
decadent past and
hid divinity
more accurately
than wormy we
their unsurpassed
monumental star
stone destiny...
 
and inscribed in OUR bones'
solar-powdered
emotional salt,
our gestures'
graced proportions
celestial lessons
slake geometrified
vocables' harmonies
the crown tingles
sovereign cobra poised
uniting two divided lands
over King's
crossed wrists
and double-crossed
(crozier-gripping
flail-wielding)
hands...
deluged.

STASIS MOTILITY GENESIS GROWTH FLOWERING FRUIT SEED

Appreciation:
R A Schwaller de Lubicz

The unbearable Ecstasy borne again

 

the mysterious 'place' unvisitable returns
is returned to again
a pure radiant rising rainbowed
golden fount of happy hot flowering sparks
invisibly force the body erect
throw the head back
mouth agape
abuzz aglow
an inner carpet shaken clean!
to explode the face in a gut laugh
from the deepest sweetest place within-
then a growing glory grin
to crack the skies
and astonish passersby:
"so THAT's what they mean by 'feeling no pain!' "

 

above this craven noisy filthy horny
decadent grumpy greedy
spat- pissed- and shit-on city,
the perfect sky and holy beneficent sun
had to make some room for that smile-
that uncaused rocketing Joy
so inexplicably complete

 

the unparalleled Ecstasy
born again
fleshlessly
