										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I HAVE REACHED INTO THE (Quantum) BASKET, SEEN THE THINGS SHOWN, HEARD THE THINGS SAID, KNOWN THE THINGS DONE. (<i>Declaration of Initiates)</i></p>
<p class="no-indent-no-line-above"><i>Persephone sings;</i> “A tisket, a tasket,<br />
The secret’s in the basket.<br />
I willed to join me with my Lover<br />
so everything that is could be.”</p>
<p><i>Persephone says:</i></p>
<p>Smother-mother taught her daughter, that’s me, the sounding Persephone, as in far sound, telephony, as in good-sound, euphony, to fear her marriage destiny, Hades, would slaughter her. Yet I went forth deceptively to let my betrothed gather me as I gathered the quantum strings woven to pattern all things, pulling each like a deep-rooted flower in my clasp to break open the deeps by my grasp.</p>
<p>Rupture, rapture, the great capture, dark sought, light caught. No more Hades. No more me. We. We. We. Our ecstasy breaks free every all-crushed galaxy under such pressure gone no light could return. Hades-Persephone call light-burst blooms from black-hole tombs, our marriage torches the renewed universes. Anti-matter/matter, gather up and scatter, dark-Lord, light-Lady, united through now free less-than-quarks confetti whirl, all renewed by that swirl.</p>
<p>Feel shall reveal the mystery none can see. Whoever ate life-giving cake from dead crushed grain seeking that gain stood in black dark shouting at the spark become one flame alone to frame a child on throne.</p>
<p>All torch carriers wandering lonely never found Persephone. My grieving mother’s left to moan crouched on her crossroads stone, demented in her decree that what has been should ever be<i></i>. The blessed as understanding clears for a thousand years declared death nothing to fear, knowing in what life-flare fleshed things have, there is no eternal grave.</p>
