cunning and genius.
Satan represents humanity,
the fountainhead of humanism.
Satan stands for revolution
against tyranny, against
meek mediocrity.
Satan stands for the sexy flame
set against the void.
His downside
is the downside of everything
imploding into raw space
like an ecstatic dancer.
His voice is the voice of Bob Dylan,
cawing into eternity.
His face is the face of Arthur Rimbaud,
James Baldwin, Garcia Lorca.
His face is the face of Abraham Lincoln
glinting from a fresh penny.
He wrote the Constitution
in the name of a distant God.
In the egg of an inspired twilight,
in all the amphibian details
of a looming fog.
