Gods buried in ash

Ephemera in the grain of sentience

A foil to the living earth

Enacted

Gods' unuttered core

No more to be received

For the fortitude of warring foes

The brine and stone concealed

Appear in gnomic truth

Unravel unreveal

Appease the common beast

Unrelated unreal

And so gifted to this great clearing

Appear in gnomic truth

Unravel unreveal

Appease the common beast

Unrelated unreal

No more to be received

The brine and stone concealed

Unravelled reveal

And so gifted to this great clearing

In servitude of affinities opposed

The great arc enacted

Blind and seen

So just revealed

Seven lives lived over

In fire or smoke

And accepted so

The voice succeeded

A steady hand

A saintly form below

Below the arcing light

They rest and reach
