I am the same: "I am Aeon" Before the prison and the iron The ion and the ink The hygien and the stink Time and kink Of the incense planet And the clock At the dock And the baying of the merchants 3 or 4 for 3 or 4 Of that grain made me the Star Oh, that we wish had not been known Or drawn us precious Romans Face or fake in jade I am ZION - or Aeon; I forget Lord of the groves of olives and oranges And the dead tribes of the central scribal verse: The tablets of stone and worry Thou shalt have no no no nothing But BAALSTORM Put yourselves on our thrones Twelve of sixty or the bling I thought of her just now: She is there naked like water I cannot touch the punch Of her lips I cannot Dare to otouch lip or skin or fold I gave gold to buy much less And gave more And nothing stayed but the storms Proud parade around the screen I will Myrrh or myth or memorise her Her forehead in the Roman dream dusk Room (Rune) for one! Rune for one! Place so much on her or hers That sand-scattered Moon Of the valleys claiming The Peacock and the Owl behind me Every grace was fresh But I felt the lash of Gospel Or Eagle: I no longer could divide Ceaser from the Trance or twilight There is mum and dad And I am glad To be back and young In December 1971 With the storms so far in front of me And the cell swelling with waves and shards On each of the brick is the crack And the crick in the slit Watch men Watch birds Watch TV And the Satanvans And the word I heads From the birds on fire was: "Aeon-makes nonsense" Or:"Sing Omega:The own and Crown" --------------------------------- (Approach and clocks crack the winds stall From the holes innocents come: "And hide away, oh hide away You young lads, you lasses gay" +++ Why do I am? There is incense and my spite Is ready to create tombs for myself +++´ Under the great gate I heard the faces of the coming storm I heard the night calling to me Wooooo! All her names Her names arose in my heart But were devoid of grace Her name was fearful and shouted to In (great) desolations) -------------------------- BAALSTORM BAALSTORM (her bone gave grey grace) (Full of horrors and) (The birds writhed through the Air) Howling BAALSTORM
