The 365 Project Pt. II

the amp hum
tone arm drop
and pedal click
all a simple ecstasy
in utter simplicity
your theresa’s
entrails pierced
and burning
like no bernini
dare fuck
with his angel
no yours a beauty
in direct
shuddering communion
sculpted in vacuum
tube heat and wire
all drifting and round
and later you
with the bearded prophet
fahey
make dark the night
and cold the ground
again
before the terror
and mercury-tasting
dread
of the sea
sublime
in horror and capacity
overwhelms
desperate shouts
incapable of
overcoming
certainty
dumbfounded
by arrogance
and pointless
resistance
and here your shaking
stops
like the heart before
golden arrows
penetrate
and rend us
immune
