"The Lucent Warrior" (2006 Single)
1. The Lucent Warrior
2. Relic Radiation
1. The Lucent Warrior
Let us hear
your inquest
of the psyche
naked on the black lake,
still waters
stirring below
You were
the lucent warrior,
illumining shadows
through firestorms
sublimation
anger into justice
sorrow into sound
reaching us as beauty
When you suffered,
you brought forth your weapon,
rising gold from agony,
your sentient sword
“Then in the circuit calm of one vast coil,
Its lashings charmed and malice reconciled,
Frosted eyes there were that lifted altars;
And silent answers crept across the stars.”
our minds, our words, our hands
here exalt your birth
revel in your journey
recall your soul’s inscription
you were the lucent warrior,
illumining life
unmasking shadows
2. Relic Radiation
Shade moves with the Earth.
Steller lights etch prisms
into the sphere of breath.
Florid scenes of birth
far older than Helios
tumble forth.
A star removed itself
to space as fingers darkened
running shapes
with coal upon stone.
Relic radiation!
One star removed itself
to space as fingers darkened
running shapes
with coal upon stone.
Its pristine, scattered globe
smolders from another sky's night.
My irises swarm
the blue-white mantle where abides
blood's primeval residue.
