In Mortido

Alchemy's Black Sun of Nigredo,

portal to timelessness, and wormhole

into a higher realm.

In Mortido.

~

In mortido I write,

as my ego dissolves

in the baptismal waters

of the reverse libido.

~

I feel de-mented

in this grip of death;

no inspiration, as

the Jordan's flow ebbs.

~

The god, Thanatos,

is a great Baptizer;

washes away everything, as 

the river of death rises.

~

Can I bear his wrath,

embrace disintegration;

go through the wormhole

of annihilation?

~

This mythology of death

is an "end time" story;

the Black Sun shines

like the Raven of alchemy.

~

Jesus, the anti-Christ,

brings not peace, but a sword;

turns out to be

another Reaper lord.

~

He comes to harvest

our heads when ripened,

"seeds of the Word"

ready for great Silence.

~

The flow and ebb

of life and death,

arise from the same Ocean

of One consciousness.
