the immolation of the now.

as long as the god’s indivisible 
as long as the sky keeps purring 
as long as the night’s gone blue 
invisible thoughts keep whirring 
referring somehow 
to an image and hope of you 
as long as the light keeps burning 
as long as a word of truth 
as long as an echo and back 
in deference to great youth 
this yearning resounds 
to a child unborn from the yolky sac

as long as The Lord has mercy 
as long as the shadow of death 
as long as the heart’s lost innocence 
impervious to all sorrow, 
as if to let go
And surrender the fear of dying like Zorro

as long as the universe will’s it 
this minute, tomorrow, forever and how 
as long as all knowledge keeps fading 
as long as the immolation of the now.
