The Nacreous Oughts

07 August 2008

   106.

When,I,was,no,bigger,than,a,huge,
Star,in,my,self,I,began,to,write,
      My,
   Theology,
 Of,rose,and,

Tiger: till,I,burned,with,their,
Pure,and,Rage,Then,was,I,Wrath-
      Ful,
   And,most,
 Gentle: most,

Dark,and,yet,most,Lit: in,me,an,
Eye,there,grew: springing,Vision,
       Its,
   Gold,and,
  Its,wars. Then,

I,knew,the,Lord,was,not,my,Creator!
--Not,He,the,Unbegotten--but,I,saw,
       The,
   Creator,
 Was,I--and,

I,began,to,Die,and,I,began,to,Grow.

--Jose Garcia Villa
