Ecstatic Rite

And the yoke weighed heavily

Upon the neck

And the tractors placed their tracks

Upon the cowering soil



The arrow cast

The bow pulled back

The arrow cast



And the chains were linked to other chains

Forged obliquely, freeing no one and everyone



Ecstatic rite

Divide the father



Ecstatic rite

Divide the father



From river to sea

The waves sing and shine

Untrained, unrestrained

Desiring nothing

From hill to vale

Form gives way to form
