The one of faith
After every liturgy
they dress me in a garment that might have
been snatched from the dead body of Abel
the Divine Breath
and it wraps up my senses and phantoms
in its sublime and brilliant...silk.
Till just a few moments ago
it belonged to no one...that is why I as well
as one of the many terrified by this World
found the opportunity to invent my Imagination
as if it were a reason to enjoy the frivolous curiosity
of an entire group of hunters and hunted stretching
out to the ends of the Earth...and the ends of the Mind
during the time when the candle
of the Punished People guttered.
But because only Jerusalem rolls from my eyes
I would like to begin this entire History once more.
And you must forgive
this entry of my thoughts into Fog
because only in that way will I be able to distinguish
with that particularity
of the Idol that was born to be pulled down.
Christ...that beautiful and pale boy
like a branch on the tree of Israel
who split existence in two...
With this strange division I was obliged
to deny the influence of the Sun
to Living Humans
and to accept the miracles of flame
in dead Spirits...
By then he would have heard me
and like a truly unforgettable Son
he would touch the scant earth of my Dreams
so that I might reestablish contact with old Sensibilities
which today have been transformed into Sins
to the point they are able to obliterate you
from the face of the Earth...
in order that I may grant them
the last opportunity at Salvation
and unite them with the Biblical Population.
But in the world
so many things have changed.
I can see clearly that the senses
do not have the tread to take them there
and perhaps now is the time to doubt for once
those lines in the Bible
and to see as Moses did from Mt. Sinai
that deceptive view of the World...
how reliable the weight of the word is
there where Christ and the Disciples
just as they were convinced of the successes
of Metaphysical Scripture...
found themselves shaken by doubt just like those frightened
in Sleep
that the consequences of infinite gazes
and unrestrained emotions
remain on the face of the Earth...
Consequently, but one more reason for the divided
population of the Bible to risk
these adventures and spiritual heartaches.
But after a while chilled to the bone they will remember
that they would never be able to perform such miracles
as God was looking down on them from on high.
But it's worth the effort
for the sake of human beings
who when you get down to it were born in order to die
and to fall into Sin for the Eternal God!
But it is likely
that God had not seen them at all.
Just as he can't see
this moment here on this World
where I have just lifted the Flame of Candles
which will warm or so it appears
the empty palace of God.
He remained neglected and unmarried
like the Heroes
who when they won brought their Era to an end...
and that Divine Form of Immortal Life
which is so necessary to our Existence
so it may avoid as much as it possibly can
the Nightmares which come day and night
so strange how...
from the soulless spirit of the Past.
But look soon my life will come to an end as well
despite the services I offered
warming in poverty and in cold
the empty Palace of God
which unlike me
because of the warm fate
which it is provided with from Below
will remain truly immortal.
