The Alchemist and Pet Dragon.

 

From the Ripley Scroll, 15th century.

The Alchemist and Pet Dragon.

~

I stoke a libidinal fire in my Crucible,

build-up the pressure inside my Grail;

to burn~away any past conditioning,

so I feel at peace inside my New Skin.

~

Animal spirit from the Burning Bush,

latent heat and tongue inside all of us.

We are the Seeds from the Tree of Life,

scattered on the Wind, fallen to earth.

~

And there we grow inside our husks,

dyed in instincts, first of four dialects.

The id evolves our human languages,

emotionally~charged ideas express.

~

Fire too, begins to develop its tongue,

our hungry desire to sing our songs;

and so it feeds on the lower elements,

to grow three Metals is its only want.

~

We do well to listen to its creativity,

every Child is an artist, so they say;

and only they can enter into Heaven,

fledged and lifted~up on fiery wings.

~

I am made in the Image of the LORD,

GOD has Wine and Bread unbounded.

We need a Boundary as Alchemists,

in the ontological VOID of the Abyss. 

~

GOD has Godzilla, I have a Pendragon,

Salt from earth in a boundless MIND.

Our dragons forge a New Skin for us,

containing Blood to coagulate Flesh!
