| My father, working nights
|
| First shift, eternal light
|
| The curse of Adam labor
|
| Outside, in the parking lot
|
| The current of wind and the light went hot
|
| He held his head in terror
|
| By jove and by surprise
|
| The current of lightning filled with light
|
| It burned his hands with symbols
|
| White noise as Lucifer
|
| The sacred fire, the sacred fern
|
| Conceived with holy water
|
| His radiance in the dark
|
| Mysterious shape or beauty mark
|
| As if it were Minerva
|
| Breastplate of Jupiter
|
| The hovering deep, he spoke the word
|
| The light, the virgin creature
|
| All dreams and all disease are fantasy features, ill-conceived
|
| Illusions worth remembering
|
| My father, late at night
|
| Forbidding death, he kissed the light
|
| As Jupiter transfigured
|
| I need you to change me, prevent you, persuade me
|
| By jove
|
| I need you, sensation, my virtue, persuasion
|
| By jove
|
| Father of light
|
| Father of death
|
| Give us your wisdom, give us your breath
|
| Summoner says that Jupiter is the loneliest planet
|
| Red right eye
|
| Put in its place
|
| Under your foot, carpenter’s cape
|
| Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
|
| Floundering star
|
| Failed that you are
|
| Fevering pitch
|
| Figure of speech
|
| Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet
|
| Say it with faith
|
| Say it with force
|
| Say it to my face
|
| Put me in place
|
| Sermon of death says Lucifer is the only conquest
|
| Hurricane heart, hurricane haste
|
| Wandering star, pick up your pace
|
| Sermon of death says Jupiter is the only contest
|
| Father of light
|
| Father of death
|
| Give us your wisdom, give us your breath
|
| Sermon of death says Jupiter is the loneliest planet |
