[Chapter XI]

...

[Chapter XII]

First a light, and then a cup,
set upon a meager tray beside the book of revelations,
and tucked by fireside�s brighter light.
Studiously dwell upon the ill-achieved stabs at grace.

The second light is tempered by its honesty,
overshadowing the primary.
Words contort accordingly.
Another page torn,
crumbled by a fist in reaction to actions
pure in concept marred by dissatisfaction,
squeezing drops of still flame from the cold page.

And yet it still must come to this: a wordless page,
yet poignant fist to keep the fire still contained.
And if there�s no more to show for this tonight
except a paper cut that�s fine,
and yet it still does ratify when bloody hands will satisfy
and voices can�t bring down the sky.
Another page is smoothed and saved.
The needless word has need today,
the millionth word and first the same.

�Against stupidity the Gods themselves contend in vain.�

Against true luminance the bright ones lose their sheen,
but through humility the dullest troll can fail discretely.

�Against stupidity the Gods themselves contend in vain.�

Illuminated now, a picture has two levels;
there is the moment clad in shallow sun.
Behind, there stands the fact,
the noose of God surrounding;
and tied to everything they fall, toppling the all.
