MOONCAKE, V [40]
Supposing you had to go down for an ideal
Take a fall for the underworld, well, better if
For love. I suspect eternity gets lonesome-
Especially after those first couple hundred
Years of worshipping the same old guy.
Better creation takes on a life of its own.
Better to float free of authorial designs.
Better to avoid deifying our egos.
Remove sin and guilt from the tyrannical urge;
For what other purpose do they piggyback on
Our divinest impulse, evolved to innovate
If not to arrest that joyous aspect in death,
When carnality adds as much flavor to life
As corporality does form to the formless.
