From within come the visions, memories of things i cannot know The memory of the everlasting heaven of the senses The memory we bring with ourselves at birth The memories of all forbidden powers and pleasures All this is contained in the helix of the body Even death is encoded in this street of the flesh Symbols burst from from inside out Bringing with them the hidden truth of stolen treasures here to be reclaimed The flesh is ours and it is also ours te be learned, to learn the wisdom of the flesh For if the hand is to grasp the heart it cannot be ruled from without It must be faithfully guided frow within, the body It must be written again and again, etched on the surface of the flesh The senses must be tempered as they are burned, just as the fire tempers the steel of swords Yearning will be given over to the wisdom of the body The uncovering of the bible which lies coiled in the heart of love This knot is undone by the revelations that had been long denied That we are of this one flesh And it is neither good or evil That yearning can be given over to the wisdom of the body And that heaven lies here for the taking Disguised in the cloth of death And so the fire of blood floods the horizon And great cracks and fissures split the flesh world And then from deep within the body will come a lightning Approaching, nearing, gathering, striking This is the violent love of the saints Impaled heroes of the christians The whoredom of the holy god Violation of the sacred love Miracle of sodomy The memory of the body
