CHRIST THE ALCHEMIST
(at Union Square , Manhattan
Which the
authentic inscape of the pigeon throat:
Chlorophyll filled green greening shimmer
Nor feathered royal rank pure purple coat;
Chameleon chimera counterpoints; which dimmer?
Furious and fiery filled full, formed, fulfilled
Babylon
Happy heat feathered alchemy to the common green
Bitters unformed foul fetal fatal cold coal,
Prediluvian primal primed to her purple sheen;
But her instress sold; the gold soul goal
For the royal robe robbed. Christ is alchemist,
Word, green begot purple; our instress he’s bought
For us to keep,Babylon
Authentic inscape bought begot re-wrought.
Chlorophyll filled green greening shimmer
Nor feathered royal rank pure purple coat;
Chameleon chimera counterpoints; which dimmer?
Furious and fiery filled full, formed, fulfilled
Happy heat feathered alchemy to the common green
Bitters unformed foul fetal fatal cold coal,
Prediluvian primal primed to her purple sheen;
But her instress sold; the gold soul goal
For the royal robe robbed. Christ is alchemist,
Word, green begot purple; our instress he’s bought
For us to keep,
Authentic inscape bought begot re-wrought.
