fire was the first light

the heat of hades is beckoning

so hard to  bear the
cold hearted stone eyed statues
who block my path
as divinity bleeds chaos

true mothers know
the dark reveals
the light of fire within

fire was the first light
the ember of rocks
colliding
on one cold night

I have been handed the key
I wait with the dead
in the dark open doorway
between worlds 
while you all twiddle your thumbs
in the abyss of hope

fallen angels have no feet
we drift with the shadows
of humanity
don't turn your head 
at every lie
it is how the world began
and how it will end

slippery words on slithering lips
make the world go round
hitch a ride on this haunted carousel
the power is in the turning
round and round
you will get dizzy 
​
while I merge with the moon
