Poem de morte for 3 mixed voices
… Ante portas

Translated by: Margaret-Peggy Reid, Graham W. Reid and the author

Cloaca of heresies
and heretics
that Europe ignites
and extinguishes
on its pyres,
stretching them out
on Procrustean beds
while unChristianly
branding their sin
on their minds

A knot of light and dark
that by definition
is only resolved with a sword

A crossroads gallows
threshingfloor of bones
waterfall of tears

From too much past
neither peace
nor present
