My name is legion-

I am drunk in oblivion.

I am the mind that murders.

I am the insatiable appetite.

I am utterly dependent.

And, I am God.

I have dishonored the Queen of Heaven,

And blasphemed against myself.

I have been all things good,

And was immured in stone.

I am this very thought,

And the next,

And the space between.

I impregnate the void

With fluid faith.

I believe only in the Absolute.

I vibrate with ecstasy.

I am the leafless withered tree.

I am new born

In the temple of my love.

I am the Phoenix,

Beak dripping,

Feeding on the Sacred Dove.
