A MASKED DUO
(at Liege, 1542)
The indeterminate meanderings of Time and all
his fellows have brought this moment to be :
a solicitude of need and presence, the
topsy-turvied source of envy and want.
It is only for the breath of black-heeled
gardeners that Nature's force keeps going.
That strange duo - Time and Nature -
break many bones and bring many
prideful movers down. Backwards
breaks the neck which stretches.
-
Alchemy it is - weeding this world's
garden with both wild hands - to change
matter and essence into another form
entire : dilated glimpses into dark powers.
All things deep and all things bold fall beneath
the powers of these powerful souls.
Changing Darkness into Light
is only the most simple
of magical tricks.
