Orphic Hymn
Beyond the minds of the thoughtless
functionary and orphic hymnist
I bring back the hymn
of an ancient light worship
as my thoughts run to it now
a river stashed away
the people’s buzzing but a surprise
to the rhythm of my guitar
that during the night I start to climb
the difficult-to-reach mountaintop
first, I wish to hail the Apollonian light
while down where people live
sleep and darkness still prevail
