THE HISTORY WAS A NIGHTMARE

 

***

The history is a nightmare from which

no one wakes because she’s of no importance

it’s important that you believe in what you see.

The Devil always attacks The Saviour

he multiplies his arms, he multiplies

his weapons, his armies, the Devil

and his hosts hurl themselves

throw arrows, missiles at Him projectiles

with shrapnel break banging

into the mountains of fire that make up

a shield above his head. The veins

on the temples of Mara, the devil swell

with mischievousness and wrath

nonetheless the Saviour goes on staying

impassive under the fig because the man   

must not indulge in carnal life because

this carnal life is humiliating, horrible

shameful and in conclusion is dolorous.

The Law is a Fire. And Christ came and said

that if two get together He will be the third.

Christ is with us however the Devil doesn’t

tire of boasting about the numerous things

that he embodied, he says there wasn’t any

shape in the universe without being his, too:

“I was a commander of battles, I was

a sword in the hand, I was a bridge that traversed

sixty rivers, a bridge that united two stars,

I was foam of the waves, I was a light,

I was a tree, I was a dog, I was a word

in a book, in the beginning I was a book

I was a soldier who slept in the bed

of the war widows and so on.”
