“Crack and crevasse from a whole to part,
Loathing and agony and the break of heart
kiss your feet, if you dare to pass.”
“Lament and worship WHO brings flame to flame,
Lightbringer! Saviour! Of glory and pain!
Drinker of blood; bringer of brass.”
That was long ago when men were scared,
Here now I stood; looked down and stared
at the rubbled temple beneath my feet.
