Midnight, Part I

a seance with the other side
summoning beings into our world
the world of flesh
physical reality
bone pit

ghostly
shrouded phantom
burial cloth
queen of monsters
psychic powers from outer space

a transmutation circle drawn with blood
harnessing the power of djinn
the invocation of the true name
binding and tethering
astral projection
shamans sitting around the fire

sacrificed in front of the altar of Horus
the invincible sun
the cult of the sun
fire is rapid oxidization
healed from snake bites

stuffed themselves with quail
connecting with elder gods
ancient beings from Sumer and Assyria
the deities of the Hittites
monotheism came out of Persia
and the Amarna period, in Egypt
enlightenment burned down, in the Library of Alexandria

Nazi Rocket, Part II

witchy formula
alligator woman
organic chemistry
aerodynamics
rockets and explosives
demo team

black powder
chemical equations and TNT
shamans and warlocks and alchemists
from cracking divination bones, over a fire, to science
radar-silent airplanes
dyes, film, plastics and pharmaceuticals

rocket test
firing at the eternal zero
the bicycle wheel of the sun
scattering tarot cards, at the crossroads
divine mother
telekinetic death
cosmic phoenix
from the ashes, an elixir of youth

regeneration, rebirth
Pluto’s catharsis
chemicals in the crucible
microbes clinging to an asteroids
the comet of the new salvation
space virus
scattered among the universe
somewhere beyond time
