Smoke of Herbs, to my Spirit: ascend
With my heartfelt prayers out of a painted Skull
(The ribbon unfurls
A smoke-road winding
my astral chariot gliding through the green
White, the domed Temple looms into view:
the Seeress, in her cobweb gown
through the smoky veil she calls after me:
"Remember the Guardian"
In the rocky cleft his noble shield melts into quicksilver
Into the smoky void I hurtle
My vision bursts:
a violet nebula tumbles in the endless velvet black
through a veil, a white screen of thin bone
My eyes peer through the eyes of the skull,
the eyes of the Guardian)
Skull of herbs
Smoke of Herbs, to my Spirit: ascend
With my heartfelt prayers out of a painted Skull
