Lead And Aether
(Skepticism - 1998)







1. The March And The Stream
2. The Falls
3. Forge
4. Edges
5. Aether






1. The March And The Stream

Stream brought words
and Stream brought meanings
Through its aether were seen all beings
beauty revealed as cruelty
Core of grief as death of desire

Stream flow in depth unmatched
crossed a statue with no hearing
March came colder than invited
crossed a realm of two endings
Stream to a sea had started turning

["The March and the Stream" is dedicated to Iia (1976-1996)]






2. The Falls

The first spring gliding
through the woods of velvet
wanderer still
and the road moving

The second spring falling
down the rough face of the gorge
ropes of hope
cut and uncut

The third spring diving
into the veins of the mountains
cold pressure - suction
here to nowhere






3. Forge

The Darkness plain and fertile
A breeze flame-scented and warm
Would set a forceful glow

Sparks from the anvil
As high as a throne
Hammers from heights
Brows with a crown

A bow from fire to another
A season of raging decay
The gates of oblivion
A the moments of grace






4. Edges

the edge of a forest went shallow in twilight
the edge of a blade drew a line with a clue
the edge of a cliff to sharp for crossing
the edge of the world still unknown to few


none
