APOLOGY OF GENIUS

And we are unaware
if you confuse
such brief
corrosion with possession

In the raw caverns of the Increate
we forge the dusk of Chaos
to that imperious jewellery of the Universe
—the Beautiful—

While to your eyes
A delicate crop
of criminal mystic immortels
stands to the censor's scythe.
