At A Party

Over our heads, if we but knew,
Over our senses, as they reel,
The planets tread, great seven, great two
Venus, Uranus, in a wheel.

Spirit (and let the flesh speak out),
Be still. To make this moment mine
All matter falls into a rout;
Both art and usury combine.

And each bright symbol of their power
Speaks of my triumph, and your fall.
Step forth, then malice, wisdom's guide,
And enmity, that may save us all.


We'd love to hear from you!
