THE WORLD'S HEART 

Say, where does the world's heart burn,

the world's heart of fire? 

It lives on coarse, heavy prehistoric coal:

black darkness, dense night, Chaos. 

Seek there! 

itself a struggle, glowing struggle -

For thus is the nature of fire: 

strong with its foe's struggle - 

has no other nature. 

And the victory? When the darkness has disappeared in flames?

and fire wants to conquer.

Is the victory death? 

Empty question and empty fear! 

The world's heart is fire,

 Lucifer

Lilith and Faun

The lunatic algebra

of Love.

The frenzied orbits

of Mood.

The malarial temperatures

of Wound.

Symbols of the Cult

of Seizure:

This flesh, this amulet

incised.

This hot spoor

of predators.

This zodiac savaged

in the sky.
