skeletons were gleaning
famine fields,
horrors multiplying
like cancer cells.
World I have loved,
so lovingly hated,
is it your evil
that has invaded
my body's world?
As surgeons put
me to the knife,
innocents
were sacrificed.
I woke from a death
as exiles drowned.
I called on the veiled
irradiant One.
As spreading oilslicks
burned the seas,
the doctors confirmed
metastasis.
World I have loved
and loving hated,
is it your sickness
luxuriating
in my body's world?
In dreams of death
I call upon
the irradiant veiled
terrible One.
