Rapture

Rapture by Exuvia 2015

One or the other

One dwells within

the other is an errant tent.

One is silent

the other cries out.

One is sitting in the garden

the other moans before the wall.

One is a Light

the other lights a candle.

One is without burden

the other is a stone.

Have you met the other?

…This is how Adam changed

haiku of flesh

drop of meat, ocean of misery

House of opposite mansions

O traitorous twin! I look up, you look down, when I do good your hand is evil and vice verse; if I reach for hot you will take cold and wearing white I know you have chosen black. Back to back, opposites and divided. When earth claims me you have been chosen in heaven. O traitorous twin!!

I am old when you are young, being born if you are dying. My desire for you is your rejection of me. Specter of love, house divided! With you everything comes to naught, me and you. ‘We’ you say and join hands with your geminate self, equal and opposite.

O traitorous twin!!  ruler of luminous cloud and molten stone, whatever I choose to defend you shall surely betray.
