You, Whom I Worship...
You, whom I worship as night's firmament,
Urn of sorrow, beatiful and silent;
I love you more, because you turn away from me
Adorning night, but, with large irony
Rather increase the absolute blue space
Which alienates the sky from my embrace.
I leap to your attack, climb in assault
Like corpseworms feeding nimbly in the vault,
And cherish you, relentless, cruel beast
Till that last coldness which delights me best.
