Sub Specie Aeternitatis

In the pontifical orisons of the forest
beyond the self
the incense of memory rises …
No balsam of poppies
is soothing,
no wine in barrels
is medicinal.
We have a destination.
The nostos of Ulysses is initiated
towards distant
and mysterious shores.
The azure rays
of charismatic stars
are coiled.
in the conch of time.
