Poem: 108933ARCANUM

the sciences of love and devotion.


you will remember
that in the courts
of your king
it was the alchemist

that in secret chambers
where you would kiss
would promise
to transmutate

your leaden heart to gold
while you hid
from the sun
of your radiant kingdom

and by night, the light of
your bridges burning
in the hallowed
moments before waking
