Chris Moran
from Chant of the Nether-Spheres
Fire is a mirror                              the deceiver of all that dreams     a source of horror
for the outer arts                           these atonal spheres            act as the overlord of
language                           golden triangles and               twisting light columns
a fractal tapestry              traversed               by a systematic impulse
Spores of illusory blur                 in the book of Mnemosyne                           the scarlet
dragon                              one being with the monad
practicing the fine art of dissolution               through the memory of water
through the psychic strata of dream                              these shards of nothingness shall
perish               in alien ether
      §
In the skin of the sky               lurking in the realm of shadows               unity of mind
unity of presence               unity of absence               the vertical abyss               propels
               dimensions in spectral time
Through a forgotten god's agency               a reflection through eternity in the
central intelligence matrix of the abyss of black thought
This world is an illusion        said the               glass rhomboid cube               hovering
over the ocean                           in a dream where the sky
was black during the day        and lightning spread through the
firmament like halos               in the cirrostratus
