and the stars' corona,
the memory marks the eye
in its changed interior
where the color of light inverts
yellow remembered as violet
green as the red of the blood unveiled
as the blood we have spilled
over hearts and stones
as the last of the light assembles
hard upon what we imagine
here in the marshes,
on wing in the early
and the blackening swamp
where the heart of the lair
is fixed and holy
speaking forever of miracles
because we remember it so.

III. The Language of Dragons

The language of dragons
is the sleep of magic.
Hard as agate
slick as quicksilver
cold barometer
of the brazen heart
and the destined wing.
Out of the country
twinned and murderous
in a spring of stars
let the word bind the body
to the wind of the senses
bind the invisible
nerve of the air
bind and loose
jess and unfetter
the blank and awaiting country
here in a season of hawks
and O may the word
upon word engender
past fear and sleep may it ride
limning the imagined
life of the planets
Gilean and Sirrion
book and flame
here at the Alchemist's Gate
where the sound of our singing
assembles, dissembles,
weaving a veil over nothing.
