The Inmost Light Itself Current 93

[David Tibet]
And when I saw the little children sing
Their mouths were red and sad
(their lipstick sealed smiles)
And in their minds they hold and hope some sign
(Some hope)
The gaudy sequinned dragging banner of
The Inmost Light
Around my eyes the sewers spew and laugh
The fallen flower gazes at me reaped
The crippled cuckoo falls broken wing
And turns around to me and broken beak grins
From its head:
"Thus so: no fear: thus so: It has arrived:
The Inmost Light"
And if I turn my head for shame
And see my lovers' rivers burst and folding there
I'll cross my eyes and close my heart
And whisper to her womb
"Great blood great silence my mother mystery of all
Nothing may grasp Thee no one may grasp Thee
Let me hold thee now Oh come oh come at last
The Inmost Light"
Oh God I trail my hands up to my eyes
Up to my eyes up to my eyes up to my eyes
And say "if only then my Light" -- And "if only if only if:
I had not despised
The Inmost Light
(And so I kneel at blue gate black mouth death
And offer as my feeble explanation:
"I thought so much was left and so much
Time to praise and call The Inmost Light ")
