the white face of now

slap words on the page
like sudden wet discovery
incantations unheard of

probe -- play upon the mind
draw out the soul with strange invention
slap paint on the white face of now

be thou light angelic unhurried
generously bending and lustingly
giving soft assenting benediction

yet bold like the devil on earth
shining out as a blazing cathedral
to startle the eyes of all people

throw open the innermost vaults
to bare the heart's ferocious longing
and down the draught of absolute truth
