About This Book
Tregenna Hill: Altars and Allegories are love poems cutting through and across the many layers of love: personal, historical, religious, and philosophical; an elegy to the beginnings and ends, to the untranslatable moments in time which contain all that is Good and Beautiful. At the altar before God and human intimacy, there remains the gentle yet brutal yoking of erosandagape with innocence, ecstasy, confession, newness, temporality, death, and surrender.

Poesía religiosaAd Secundum: Mortalitas et Caritas
I give to you my undivided regret
A simpler anguish without regard for its consecration
Or for those other unspoken things that never find recourse for their attention
Reality is a recluse forged in this furnace below
We never had anything to show
Dangling toes knock upon the wishing wells of sin
Trace and lead and never heed this uncertain end
Distraction thickened around my mouth
Words can no longer penetrate only facilitate
The growl of little death that enchants in its decay
That spirals like the river bends
Bewilders the clay-framed divine and then signals
That then had passed like crimson softening in the snow
Fists of uncompromising penance
Stay to repeat the loss of blood
This body is a lost foe
Found in the fall of single-handed remorse
Nothing is held evenly in this dignified fallacy
Nothing escapes the tinged hue of candles
Strewn in far off churches
In far lost lands
Forgiveness and guilt clasp hands like little girls
Magnificently unprepared for that long littleness
Which ensues and burdens these ancient walls
Cold stone pressed its wine for empty eyes
For miles and miles
For rows and rows
Amber beads warm for another worn prayer
Through fingers and thumb nothing can be undone
In a stranger corner trails an oil stain more beautiful than its illusion
Her light and heavenly eyes well with resin and feverish touch
For miles and miles
For rows and rows
Empty rows quicken into miles once valid
Swarming bees bow and hush this sweet undertaking
This savor I cannot defend
Bells hollow a heavy head
That failed to position the thing...
