Diagonal Power

Looking for an exit
Fleeing sideways into prayer
Becoming imperceptible, quickened by Hermes

I bide my time, a border-guard in no man’s land
No love for law, no love for crime
Unmoving in my sovereign attitude
Diagonal power…

Freedom from resentment
May my stillness be my flight
Useless to the Clown Word
A gentleman obstacle

Diagonal power
Quickened by Hermes
Winged by Mercury
