Katadesmoi

Pebble mouth mole
See now this leafen earth
with future eyes
the veil stocking tied
threadbare
the winding sheet
unravelled.

No heavenly gate
while your sin stalks still
this wounded earth
and intoxicated worms
feast on callous secrets
till stripped of fleshy lies
you wait in bony honesty.

This tender child
from idol walls
and gutted god released
unsighted walks
a floundering stone
among the dizzy spinning stars.

Take up the passage coins
and liberate these leaded lids
so in these my ancient days
eyes wide opened see
on this foreign shore
of rattling breath and muted sky
your terminal dust
from mountain high again
a Russian doll
onion peeled by time itself
