Nero fiddled while Rome burned

The lord who suffers suffering.
suffer the little children to come to me, and hinder them not,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
above the gate of which is written
"Oh You who know what we suffer here
remember us in your prayers."

The tetragrammaton
four letters
consonants

the six points
the seal
which bound the greater
within a lesser darkness
within the holy of holies
where wise old solomon
trapped the lord of darkness
the emanation
of the aeons
blind mad creator
hate filled
jealous

Saul and Peter battled
there in Rome
set the streets on fire
which Nero would blame on the christians
Peter gets the basilica
but Paul won the battle
and the madman
follower of a mad god
the demiurge
psychotic
blind
raging
was freed to pursue
his vengeance upon the people
who imprisoned him
upon that hill
all those year ago.

White, the cat

White, the cat sits
silent, waiting
claw caught the curb, 
the railing
of the Great Bridge
beneath the umbrous sky
 of the lesser darkness
gaze out now across the City
silent in the cold wind
that flows 
forever 
over The City
of Darkness

The Great Bridge 
has its source in Nothing
its terminus in Nowhere

She glows upon it
bright star fallen 
from the starless sky

Above her 
circle
winged night 
black eyed
Huginn and Muninn
Thought and Memory

Above the Sea of Dreams
they swam the sky
above the water
wherein swim
what...

in the lesser 
the two 
a greater darkness
soar deathless
over the ridges and edges
knife sharp
of
The Mountains of Pain

Across the plain
the desert
unmarked
of grey dust

They perch now 
curb claw caught
Huginn to the left
Muninn to the right
Dark, Light, Dark
A communion 

upon The Street of Books
two men stand
swimming 
in a sea of words
waiting for the key

In the Cathedral
Christs Cross hangs empty
above a blood stained altar

The universe hangs 
in balance
