The Novenary Dissevered

ABHORRENT SYNCHRONIZATION

I — The Novenary

Ninefold circumference

Of an unblemished aeon

The lucid dominion

Of antecedent gold

Beneath the vespertine meridian

Nine measures held the firmament

Unnumbered splendours

Within the finite

A crown without sovereign

A kingdom without throne

II — The Aberration

Anathema of the tenth threshold

The incorporeal fracture

Inverted benedictions

Of a nameless genesis

A thought without progenitor

A verdict without tribunal

The innocent condemned

By an unspoken syllable

And beyond the inner firmament

The greater mechanism turned

III — Abhorrent Synchronization

ABHORRENT SYNCHRONIZATION!

Two descents

One meridian

The novenary dismembered

The gilded measure undone

ABHORRENT SYNCHRONIZATION!

Confluence without causation

Correspondence without design

The lesser abyss within

The greater dissolution without

IV — The Mercantile Eclipse

Beneath the argent simulacrum

A thousand altars multiplied

The immaculate rendered fungible

The immeasurable assigned a weight

Anointed by vacant arithmetic

The hollow regents ascend

Their dominion—

A cathedral of subtraction

Their sacrament—

The consumption of significance

V — The Ninth Remnant

Nine vestiges

Nine silent ordinances

The aureate circumference

Persists beyond its dissolution

No resurrection of the hour

No restoration of the vessel

Only the undeciphered residue

Of a brilliance without witness

VI — Final Conjunction

ABHORRENT SYNCHRONIZATION!

Novenary extinction

Chronological inversion

The inner fracture

The outer corrosion

ABHORRENT SYNCHRONIZATION!

Neither prophecy

Nor providence

Only the dreadful symmetry

Of unrelated ruin

VII — Coda

Beneath the final meridian

An unextinguished integer

Nine.

Neither lost

Nor recovered

Suspended

Within the architecture

Of all that might have been.
