"One night as I lay in my bed" sings The Chinese chatter is chipping away The whitelit clouds a**emble A small angel of God displays this: Shiningblack beetlewings polished is he Deepsheened tortoiseshell Majesty Almost as furclad in his peackock feathers he Burnished dark rosewood embodied with motherpearl Some of the armour of the Rainbow Messiah Brightfire of morning lightbearing fallen Falsifier telescope viewed topsy-turvy Motherliquor life's flicker soullicker He comes and he goes There where he wants in the Shinig of your mind Greenscaled flybacked carapace she Dark stars imploding and shuddering she In the menstrual night she She opens and she closes she In her the flowers are all one she Stamen lip and hovering she Beauty alone and unmirrored she Blackhaired and blackeyed door she Hart so lovely dewed labial she Pearldrop and dewdrop Soft pillow of seaspray And dark smokevoice of evening Wallbuilt and pinnacled gorgon is he Snakelike and sulphurous serpentine emperor Bra**limbed and trumpeting dischordance he Bonevoices and bonethroated sepulchral decadence Crackedsun boneset anklet of jadegreen Sugarcane pomegranate bloodeyed and seawide Larkthroated birdwinging cloudstormy golden Lucifer Lucifera Luciferens Stoneheart and coldskin and icerendered member Grapecluster darkthruster coalblackened smithy Not saviour nor Silence nor Anything at all Goldplated illusion and fool's gold in heaven Goodbye I say goodbye... Lucifer has two faces: male and female. Lucifer's beautiful eyes are two dark depths. In one is the seadeep profundity. You may stare into this bluedark body for ever. On his surface, the waves come and go. The other. Clouds breathe across her body. She is the night. They both lie.
