Poetics.

The first request of that body of stars From cursed light and clarity of day What spirals now will spiral forever On and on goes the spinning top the ancient lore of those witches The thread of that first rite Erebus before he made his arrangements Before you could climb La Scala Contarini del Bovolo and see running in the dark toward reason you who could shoot souls into each living one She who calls death back and forth Finding me now with the last candle in the tenebra.
