Inspired by M. John Harrison's Course of the Heart and the film A Dark Song.

First comes the rose and then the salt lines

I'll speak an angel's name; Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel

Asteraceae compositae, lay a bed of tree bark

A rose cross concealed, lay a leaf on a ram's horn

Next the carved rhymes which lead to a pause

From the darkness to the light

What was silent now is sound

Slowly light a ring of eight white candles

Hand clap to each point

Cinnamon on the floor, that sweet money spice

Relight the palo santo

Cast out with smoke

Cast out by command

Silence the conscious mind's derisive monologue of doubt

All the while keep breathing

What was hidden has been found
