{Poetry} Ace of Wands
Literature, Poetry
for the glory of finding
fire in its inception
whirlwinds uptore
spring lightnings in every direction
kettles only danced these mazes
manifesting in Matter ingenious fabric
complimentary excess, interdicted treasure
blind forces under the demiourgos
no lock or bar could shut out
objects considered in their capacity
every man and every woman
possesses its own private
shops, suburbs, ruins
inglorious somewhere
the establishment of such an oracle
the ghost of a fish-wife
a standing army
babe and a suckling
staggered and perplexed
elemental Forces are Blind Forces and no more
