Helicon

Is it true that upon Mount Helicon
You hear the god-like Muses?

Their voices trembling like
mirrory waters

Coursing through two sacred streams
High above the loftiest clouds

The very waters, which trapped Narcissus:
forged by flying Pegasus' hoof.

There, will the poet find his
liminal revelations

Apart from reason:
Above reason?

Amidst his exquisite
abnormal, inner experiences

Poetry rises like flamed concupiscence
from the ashes of an inevitable purgatory
