Pass the threshold!
So blind you are, groping for Appollonian essence,
With sight whereon infinity stranded
Offer tithe to phosphorus statues,
They hear..
Offer tribute to currents serpentine,
Divide flesh, paint crimson the altar with blood flow
Behold the ethereal glow, dreaming colors
And witness: the mind flailing into deep reverie
Howbeit, the flesh strain ever, tho apart
Thou shalt wander the black maze of water uncompassed,
Wherefore thy deafened ear, wanderer?
Heaving, thy pulses run, then shall fade
And hopest thou close to undoing!
Hollowed being, no path
Oblivion beckons, whence you came!
Vaulted mouth, thine entrance is false!
