about

The sonnet explores the actual meaning of 'orientation' (and its opposite, disorientation) which is 'to turn to the East.' It's the idea behind the story of the Wise Men following the star. youtu.be/olSOsZ9TIGc

lyrics

To have turned to the East is then to be
Conscious of the chaos behind the plan,
Mindful of the terror behind the calm,
Eyeful of darkness in lit Western cities;
Now I’m called at last to God’s own country
Disbelieving in switch and tap and fan,
A Western, hygienic, jetted Dis-Man
Orientated by your love of me.

Your holy germ is taking me places
That have no painless position to lie.
I escape to my mind but it won't stop
Pitching me backwards through haggling faces;
Six degrees of separation unwound-up;
Fried, shivered skins: all the layers of ‘I’.
