IMAGINARY BEASTS
The Night Swimmer
Formless In the clouds:
The ember glow of sunset
Deepens, fades, dies.
It slips silently
Into the great pool of sky
Acres of wings unfurled
Rides the dark currents
Holding the breath of ages
The trance of stasis
The human shadow
Cast by a winged stag
Exorcises terror
The Phoenix
True resurrection
Rising from the darkness, death
Suttee for the world
Vital self aflame
Brilliant immolation
Negating the night
Time itself reverses
Over there! Ashes ignite
'What cannot be, is
The laws of causes
Go up in flames, burn frigid
The idea glitters
