Dante at last comes to meet
the Anthropos.
Mestopholes himself withdraws
into the underworld,
observing and expecting to
enjoy the show.
Incarnate now, the god must
face himself
alone within the ancient
halls of his denial;
seeking yet for heaven’s
gates
that lie within a realm of
feminine composure.
He finds instead this paradise
of earth
consumed and thus consuming
all
that lies just at the core
of life’s existence;
and thus the three must add
a fourth
to find totality.
To bear upon the course so
often thought
to be created merely of the
masculine;
daunted now, this Dante spins
into the double helix of
deliverance
lying in the heart that beats
itself
as daemons play a harmony
of all that is for him...
