Heaven Descent
September 27, 2005
I used to say, may heaven help you, used to say, be true
those words long spoke before me, ingrained, impressed in real
habitual, made ritual of trained belief, that truth itself might heal
but rust and acid on my tongue have spoken those words now
same recycled epitaph upon a world ��s bettered path reveal
stagger in the tone of voice, choice remade in haven, sent
back down perceptions �� truest ash, betwixt science and reward
safe, the raven ��s word decried, seers long beatified
speak well �� and heaven help you for truth is a grindstone
rasping hard against the weal, callus of the tempered soul
caul where soulled we ��d keep our purchase
grip against the spinning urn, base-meant and base-ruined
where once an innocent tongue worked slack, now arsenic blacked
now sacked and sealed, parchment grit against the lips ��
slippage in the recognition �� and heaven help you, ��er the wheel
spins mason ��s word and jetted feather, cluster in the come-together
into sundry, into wane, into abyss and in again, be true
search the meaning of the pattern
scour away, and heaven help you
word like copper plating
salt and corn upon my learning
