I aggravated a wound
I approached it with science
Instead of a mind
I imagined in my head a sea

It devoured everything
This consciousness
No religion a warm blanket 
Over reason

I found the shadow of spirit
A veiled man on the shore 
Looking east

I found faith that reached
And then receded 
A snake coiled 
In the hand of a woman

If this is knowledge
Then there are no scholars

I said that I believed
In the science of the leviathan
That conquered
The deep despair of the mind

This is a god or his shadow
A red dragon inside a pearl
