[stone]

layered on stubborn stone 

self-referential skeleton

with engraved bones

upon yourself, stacked

 

and before bedrock

a vitreous heart

enlightening the structure

 

what made you matter

what plans

what marrow

 

                   to see you in material

 

         echoing innards

 

various blood

for shifting icon

 

mirrored offering

with mountainous reverence

sent unto them was

 

a disappearing fracture

resonance delay

earthbound javelin

        

         راحت الكهربا

 

and the sunbathers toil

and the chthonic toss and turn

loosening joints

 

upon yourself, ruin

we call to deliver

from precarity

 

         like a bolt

 

by hand of [n/g]eo-mancers

imbuing rectangular blood

with javelins

 

desiring panoptics

for the megalithic image

vortextuality

 

                  

                   to see you in territory

                  

         screen soil

 

building visions

to trace infinities

between your columns

 

to dance and lustrate

in lithic matrices

filled with potency

         of his cosmic bolt

 

your entanglements remind

our blood is above ground

though bones have roots

 

         and the earth is non-human

 

         and transcendence

is no longer a choice

 

body [un/earth]ed

aberrated by new myths

with familiar levity 

 

bearing gravity

for your columns are unmatched

lifted by hidden ones

 

and hiding still

are your phantom cartographies

made of firmament dust

 

 

screens for astral reconnaissance

 

 

         المشتري        

                   to see you in deep time
