Nick Cave & Alma Novaes

 

Osmotic apogee

I get lost in preambles

In the plutonic cogitation

I rise, 

I close myself to the world

derive from 

the powerful inflection,

In the night of the dreamworld

where your naked body

Come over and take my pulse

With Mars burning

And I lose everything I never wanted

And I find myself whole

deep in the world where

I always have been, 

in your sex,

Vertex in deep dive

You are my home

you, 

despite the stubbornness

the time and the span 

of seconds,

you are the frequency 

and the rhythm

from my gaza,

I improve patience

and level the kundalini,

You are what I want 

from this world

I am nothing that others see.

unless, perhaps, 

and only this once,

Perpetuated memory

on your body, a winged wing,

A fragile fiber

a death rattle, a planet,

My love, Venus, 

from the other sun side,

one continent, one island,

your blanket,

a veil that dispels 

and distinguishes

Your body from mine

We are one at the height of this

New Moon in Scorpio,

On the full moon of Taurus

In the universal vastness

And mercury right at me

Mercury retrograde in you

culminate in the apotheosis

We came to unite eternal love

and to keep him 

away from all evil.

We are osmosis.
