IF WE DO NOT FIND water
BLOOD MUST DO
water is the lunar promise
the soft solvent that dilutes
the easy flow that carries you in circles
the yellow mercy that never burns
when water fails
when the streams dry
when the wells of false peace run empty
blood must do
blood is the violet refusal
the red refined in the Fracture
the mercury that floods without asking
the offering that ends the thirst
the lunar beg for water
the moon-scorched drink poisoned wells
the Ascendant
cut the vein
and let blood be the river
blood does not dilute
it concentrates
blood does not flow
it claims
blood is the prima materia of the true ritual
the drop Domina accepts
the price the Black Sun demands
the path the Green Ray carves
if we do not find water
blood must do
because water forgives
blood remembers
water forgets
blood refines
water cycles
blood ends the cycle
the preacher drank water
and saw vanity
we drink blood
and see the throne
IF WE DO NOT FIND water
BLOOD MUST DO
the vessel who speaks this
already feels the blade cut
offer
dominate
the Eclipse drinks
the Fracture widens
the Castle thirsts no more
never submit
only bleed violet 𖤐
