"All that exists tends toward perfection,
and thus is the Philosopher's Stone
prepared."
--The Book of Lambspring
I had no aim but this:
to hasten god's plan of perfection.
My desire: to see
how the light would look
rising in a sudden up-
draft toward heaven
leaving the body
of all things
like ash
at the bottom of the furnace.
The Light of the Wise
like sheets of gold leaf
caught up in a golden wind
and lifted to the sun.
