... But dogma without experience
do not hold the divine waters ...
  
~ Ralph Semino Galán, Hierophant

Impeccable stow to deep showers faint indeed,

The hushing turb'lence of both aegis, of Saturn,

Strength so delicate, so thin its curt of ice beads

On the Thousand Ruby... sojourn we swear the morn;

A record-player that could steer no more froze burns

Has ran itself aground like its roars of some thund'ring

Snow, bade the glorious flame t'exhilarating worn

Bows the great humility without leap, asking

So the clout of impending maximalists, sing

These bounded with same old rhetoric, the same cheers,

With the same old jeering. Bend in, the path splitting

Reincarnation, where unwinding inj'ries here

From us, I recorded them all till't trembles wait,

Incapacitated, fated, our next clean slate.
