Vis Aeternitatis. A poem by Paul Connolly, first published in takahΔ Vis Aeternitatis She wakes. Five hours till dawn. Matins to sing. Day will bring deer, scant waterfowl which swim between the scattered floes, a hamletβs threading smoky life mark, framed in venial squints through crosslet holes by lowered eyes at Sext. Now paths to prayer are crept, no lamps but thin blue slants, the eternal sapphire she collects herself inside a moment, then looks. O vis aeternitatis. Snowy firs reflect moon blue. Beyond is dark. The wolves release what spirits they have, and like a lone raw crow or tower-flute winds, they break upon, increase and are nightβs silence, owl-flight thick. The soul thatβs ready falls into its dark. Shadows arch, nightβs chapel populates, its doors, behold, are opened, evilβs wormy legions march with angels, come O Paraclete, stream forth afresh, come fiery, quench our pain, all parch for want of Thee, for look, he waits, the Wolf, he sniffs, merciful One, fill the world with breath or silent song at least, and hard, Thy love. She takes the dark to prayer, where sheβll confess. He plays the track again. She quickens nothing with a voice thatβs nothing, God in wilderness.
My poem Vis Aeternitatisπpublished in @takahemagazine.bsky.social is getting featured on BBC Upload!
Thu 16 & Sat 18 October 6-8pm
