Telos

Manifold marvels and terrors of the earth
Tropical swamp under rapturous sky
Luxuriant and monstrous
Wondrously formless trees
Green-shadowed pools
Eyes of the lurking beast

Hearts pounding with horror and mysterious desire
Enslaved sensitivity’s revenge
Sudden strange expansions of your inner space

Devastating invasion of passion
Destruction of a mastered life
Degraded by an unfamiliar god and thrust into the absurd
Skepticism in the face of artistic power
Confession of the hero who is already marked by death
