indispensable quest

by Roberto Lavidez

if the long

endangered

world is felt

to be too great

a menace

diminished or

exhausted by use

and can never

replenish the

automatized

it will engender

a movement of

revolt giving

great impetus

to the spread of

indispensable

quest for ecstatic

transcendence

indulging in the

memories of

bygone experiences

stringing pearls for

the joy of heaven

following a guardian

spirit toward the sky

articulated by ritual

and myth rooted

in the chemism

of the organism

emerging from

beneath the earth

the passionate stirrings

of an agonizing

inherently insoluble

problem which

proclaims its own

brutality of

conscience

as eternal law
