Nächtiges Elend

By Corinthian






Sweven :
( a vision in the first minutes of sleep)



It felt like dying
when she slept
and sleeping
when he died


Shackled
sparrow
wings and
indigo lambs
baby Christ
with burning wrists
blue
dandelions



quiet
as a
tongueless bell.


was
my vision
in my last
minutes of sleep+

    The white Lord glitters and bubbles over I drink his deep hymns Of sorceries, of spells, of necromancies I swallow his life into my red throat and fall to sleep inside his sacramental hair ++Corii and Crowley collide

    ...they (we each have our own visitors) come to us when we sleep & leave gifts. I think they smile if we make good use of those gifts...
