La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
feeling the motion of the earth
the bright pearls of the comet exploding
her body pulled apart into
clusters of fire
drifting too near Jupiter
all this spun running nowhere
through the emptiness of space
always ro rise, soar, falter, fall, disappear
feeling the movement of the Earth
[beneath his feet]
the bright pearls of the comet exploding
[in his mind]
always to rise, soar, falter, fall, disappear
"God is himself the Dark Matter,
Swallows them up"
[the dark matter of the universe]
thorns upon his brow
horns adorn his crown
spines ascend his back
let your jaw retract and swallow
[such is the blackhole of the human soul]
