Let for One Moment a Faith Statement

Let for one moment a faith statement / Rule the blank sheet of sleep, / The virgin line be mated with a circle.

A circle spins. Let each revolving spoke

Turn and churn nightseed till it curdle.

Let for one moment a faith statement / Strip the dreams' livery, / And gods be changed as often as the shift.

God is the same though he be praised as many,

Remains though gods be felled till none are left.

Let for one moment a faith statement / See the first living light, / And your maieutic slumber drag it forth.

The child tells, when the trembling cord is cut,

Gods shall be gods, and many deaths be death.
