36 The urge to Beauty is a primal one, clusters so deep down with wish for order & health, with desire for solitude, with desire for fraternal firelight, what deeper? The chaos of burst blood? Of arcing violence in dreams? Of what calm eyes do not tell? Sense of Beauty a stretching, animal sensation, a rhythm, a thrumming, a sense of being played, become a power’s clean, purposeful instrument, being moved, being fed, being breathed, & exhausted when let up, let be— Autumnal colors visual doorways to peace, deep-caved peace. Pretty bodies, an easy bold rush, the lick, the bite, the take, a stronger rush, what rises from deeper than Eros’ soil, what builds high & does not recede with a breath & a spasm, possible never to know? Fear of Beauty’s lack, selfish for mine, selfish for a little more. Then another breath, & let it open out, spread some around, now some more, the echoes, the harmonies, return of the mystery in not knowing, in how memories forecast poorly, in what else never lets go, a soft connecting something, what it may be, how it may last. ***** The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
37 Judih Haggai First Then Last I saw it first the last time I floated along the dregs and unspoken mentions those brief few centuries so long ago so quick to pass so swift to reconvene I saw the sweaty arms lift the sacred pillars uncover the buried treasures the essential Essene gospels the Gnostic knowing nothingness I heard the silent chant of tantric disappearance as all rebirthed I heard I swam the waters so dry, so empty I sank beneath the rafts of refuge I crossed the bridge barely built it was first, then last and now it is again The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
