I. In Sulphurous Descent Descend we now in sulphurous gloom unnamed, Where fiery rivers flow beneath the barrows deep Of foetid minds -- chained by reductive curse And falsehoods spun from lattice threads of Matter. By Daedalus bound, we tread a buried path To tread unknown. II. Errant Sirens Let errant Sirens weave their tale, of Reason's birth -- A tale of Sound's great triumph, through perception gaunt Terram agitawhere the Unknown stands defiant: A realm unkempt, beyond the grasp of Titan's tool. That essence, which transcendent quarks decay, The pitchmost infinite, in chaos tangled, By fractal song is forged anew -- A symphony of discord strange, unsung; Desires, intrenched in glass and cold, The pulse of Life's eternal chime -- undone. Let Heisenberg, that doubtful wight, approach The nexus of the veil, shielded, where forces four Wed time and space, and through that union bring The offspring of reality; yet, still untamed It lies -- it lies beyond, in realms untrod. III. Quantum Dionysia But hark, what whispers vanquish ancient cries: From theorems sprung, they guide our hand to drink-- To drink a heady draught, a piercing liquor bold Of boundless ill, immaculate -- a means of flight: The flight of Icarus in celestial paths. So shall we find within the drunkenness -- lucidity; An embrace of ashes scattered far By cosmic winds that traverse distances untold; The boundaries of desire in dreams redefined. And so we greet a realm unknown: Let Infinite Eratos reach into those abysmal depths, And paint with spectral strokes a cure For dogma's desolation -- a sacred seed Incognizant to lesser minds, And children of a fleeting age. IV. The Enigma of Anticausal Vatsyayana Deny the yoke of Day and Night, set free the dormant archetype, Uncoil the cells and strands, dissolve their code, Discover in the unformed depths the enigma of Anticausal Vatsyayana. Express in wayward souls the shifting gyre, Expand without, return -- begin anew. V. Apotheosis of the Blasphemous Moon, or The Nadir Pilgrimage Questing thus in exile perpetual, purge thyself with Polaraxicon's embrace-- To scale the cosmos high and know the heavens' breadth, Awakening the sky within and drowning deep In black depression of eternal introspection, In seas not known. By solar limb attest the vestiges of men, And drink the twilight brew, heart and mouth ablaze-- Cast prayers to commune with that celestial gulf, Where infinitude doth near the anguish'd finite veil. Thus humankind from mind-engendered gods shall craft The semblance of eternal truths, ineffable, And weave the cloth of consciousness upon the loom Of Mystery -- yet, the structure ravels still untrod, And gracing dances on the thinnest edge of possibility. VI. Monolith Through terrors dark and harrowing abyss, We grasped thy hand -- unshackled, we are doomed To bear the crushing weight of all Creation: O, errant children of the Muses three. If far into the grasp of infinite retrace Our steps, by motions well-refined, we send To Sorrow's bourn our tongues of fate and weft, To journey past the lighted Moon ascend, And find the silent monolith of stone and mind, The shrine of reconciliation and irrevocable truth, To harmonize the inconsistent ends Of knowledge, reason, and the godless void. A glimpse upon the path of lunacy, a light -- To guide the disillusioned children and the fools, To sweep away the latent dregs of adamant faith, And brand the world anew with sacred flame. So, let us sing of chaos, birth and tragic end, Of Dionysian blackout purg'd by apollonian bane, Of essence mythologic torn by faith entwined Within the tangled cords of human kin. We dare not wake nor sleep, but dream in breathless gasp, And stake our claims in star-strown sea; There, unburd'ning from our pessimistic hearts, We yield unto the greatness of desire--anew.
