In the Shadow of Man

Complexion in the Early colors' rift,
Burning, arid climax of the present
Hangings; divided by their Numbered Lift,
That by being, created their presence—

The lamb lies calm before the parting stream,
O’er the mead by the thunder ascending,

Within the drift of those Ancient currents;

The tinge of obscurity shaded White—

Castrating all of the Beasts in the Wild!

But a fraction in the shadow of a Man…
