Cherub, chimera (v1.0 knot, TqB, Rowens)

[Kynaston Levitt]

Cherub, chimera

Cherub, chimera,
whatever you were -
an angelic thing
or fire breathing dragon - isn't this redundant. It's like describing something as "feline" and then going on to say "a catlike thing". And a chimera literally is a fire-breathing monster/dragon—unless, of course, you have no confidence in your reader. 
upon me, a mortal - - I must admit, I am a little rusty at this here poetry thing, but isn't there some unwritten rule in "poetry 101" that tut-tuts at rearranging the natural order of words and sentences—isn't it called "poetry speak" or something similar? It's usually done to find a rhyme but here it's unclear why you did it. 
I remember your wings.

The black sepulchre
non-being’s eternal, - I had to look up the word "sepulchre", and even then I can barely make sense of what this is trying to say—something to do with "meontology" and Levinas? 
but your sight’s a spring
of light in the darkness,

winter’s moon. You bring
a parade of faces 
from old, familiar places
and days on the brink 
of being forgotten,
Dante’s immortal -
I remember your wings.

Yeah, I kinda gave up trying to make sense of it after the "non-being" bit. It's probably referencing something way over my head. But technically, I still think the syntax is overly poetic and only rewarding to a reader who can (or has the patience to) put all the fragmented pieces of this abstract and cryptic jigsaw puzzle together.
