APOCALYPSE: A DIVINE COMEDY

APOCALYPSE: A DIVINE COMEDY

 

 

 

Horses shining  black
Indigo
Transluscent.
Raging on the run
Across a moonless sky
Hooves of steel
Striking fire in velvet  night.
Angels in flight
Screaming In Execlso Deo
The Four come riding in
On the  midnight wind
As it was told
In Revelations.
Heaven’s insanity
No pity for sin
No grace for humanity.
God’s warning of the End.
Fantasy’s reality this.
Our Divine Comedy.
Orgasmic fury
Ecstasy
As the world  gives in
Letting  go all Energy
Rushing to Climax
To Release
Peace in finality.
So it was told
In Revelations.
Heaven’s insanity.

Horses glazed with sweat in indigo and black,

My Longobardolino, what wonderful pictures of horses glazed with sweat in indigo and black, oh that's terrfific, I see it so vividly, and that MOONLESS night has the eerie weirdness of the velvet dark unknown, unseen terrors.  Translucent fury oh that's wonderful too and the steel-I hear the sound of its birth like that of the  noise that comes from great shipyards clanks and searing slid metal on metal. The fire sending its  embers in the form of angels taking flight, ooooo I can see the little bits of ash that dancing form  their wings in that weightless magic way they do when leaving the fire? "Screaming In Execlso Deo" Oh that sound!!! Midnight wind- oh wonderful. Was it really told in Revelations- midnight wind? How I Love that thought. Heavens insanity! OH AND recreation reaching its climax of doom is so absolutely  mind blowingly powerful, your words are woven into something stunningly great, that's what I think of it. Love from your Annuccia

J.B. Longo-Geremia Thank you,Annuccia. REVELATIONS is something that we RC's take as myth and metaphor---scary, indeed.
