A Meditation on Origin and Choice

    Incantation to Lucifer

    Angel disarmed, lay doell

    ts, stops and altitudes between heaven and hell.

    Or ars too loud for your celestial velleities,

    ting zones of emptiness uncanny to your imperious

    hand?

    Did you admit ttles of tance,

    And er

    Or  vulgar as a marathon dance?

    Did you keep camping all through chaos

    Comparing colors of infinity to neon lights?

    Forever

    Spurning t of affinity and rose, t of sunset, clarity,

    Avoiding rainbo desperate clas tars?

    Your tearless wizardry soon caughe rhyme

    Of universe, tary comic quandary.

    It took you only a zone or to riddle

    top-secret density relating Space to time.

    Did once your ling senses turn

    to paradise t you had robbed and spurned?

    Did you once ime weep?

    As earturn again defaulting eyes to paradise,

    Defaulting eyes, turn once again

    itiment of further bliss

    Before you s and final kiss.
