Dreg Eld
August 26, 2022
strumming then a malady
on the first day of Christmas my true love said to me
it ��s August, love, your completed vows are rendered fantasy
on the second day of �� August �� a silence to the aire
substituted melody for ashes drifting there
axiom of splitting key
on the third day, by washing, I had left the gods behind
who ��d said this was a marathon, a pyroclastic ambition
on the fourth day, in the fires at the bottom of the mountain
there I found retired a small cellar below stone
awash in plumbed-well wine
on the fifth day, long chained beyond emissions of the sun
all rings a-chatter, all things of matter
dripping from my charms
on the sixth day through corrosion and dislocation of my thumbs
I stepped into the corridors above the catacombs
through seven days of sealed in, and seven in the rumbles
by rubble brushing no one, I hung my joints together
an earthen home and harbor
on the eighth-most day, still August, my emperor arose
Caesar to my malcontent, index finger on my lip, driving image home
nine days ploughed unto Demeter, long forgotten in the flux
where to my lips a chalice raised, and bloody Vulcan passed
your mind unto my mind
in tender days abounding, obsidian core memory
where no others claimed me foundling
there I found eleven shelves, and one betrayal abounding
where godless, but well self-mastered, I hung my coreless hearth
to fly me stone
then twelve unto false apothecary, with rue and pennyroyal
ended sweet that innocence that by the trusted mild
in absence then of mystery, of medicine and stone
I might by abstinence comply, or bear my part, or ��
return alone
for thirteen be the hours of my steepened lack of slumber, below the shadowed flower
whence came, stripped still of mastery, all human elements long stolen, a power
so then shall I arise in glass, where keratin at folds had been
to lick thy marrow, aye, thy barrow, for what you claimed your own
entombs thee
