Uncloud the borealis of your eye, show your iceberg secrets
on an axis that intersects the surface
an axis that Greek geographers established as a reference line
from pole to pole. While Greece preserves the memory of itself in Rome,
its philosophers deduce morals from the nature of man
rather than from God

and baize of whitened-green mouldering
from the pews-sides
leaving naked wood
to the disturbance caused by a water droplet,
that will be smoothed out by gravity.

This complex folding over cannot be drawn, though its properties
can be specified in full mathematical detail.

∑ 2398 a & b (^{put > zero as quantum}) α 161
-2≥ x <4
a = 70˚
b = 60˚

(b) = 140˚
(e) = 360˚

Religion smoked, so that blood burned, flashed its mica,
loosed, sharply, from the day to day
she would not glance up at the bomber
instead ( _{going to bed with a lighter heart} ) sank deep into a slumber.






“so that was life?”

theology ends.

“The world by wisdom knew not God.” (1 Cor. 1:21)
