| 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 |
