In choked nave, peasants craning
For better sight. Removal of stains
Ewer draws puring mithril from a silver basin
Subdeacons astride their Primate
Christfire beacons gyring inside
Like a Pilate, his hands washed
Doused in rosewater in sight of the people
Beneath God’s steeple
Purified thereby prosphoron for problems probes
Oil of catechumens
Essence of humanity captured like quadbottled lightning
Trinening from undying Zeus, immortal in tempera on the Sistine roof
Alchemisland
