Steel / words / 2010 / Drop

November 5, 2010

She has

Weltered walls.

Shattering along Her weighted depth.

Lighting dashes above.

My shadow.

                Cascades.

On Her metal Skin.

I pull myself.

                Sword in hand.

Up.

Shattered.

                Wailing light.

With careless effort,

She Laughs at me.

I push Up.

                She crashes around me.

My rusted nails        

          bite

into her wasted root.

I know I’m not the first.

                My own armored

skin  

                                weighs

 

                                     me

                                               down.

With great flair

she

                           brushes

And shrugs.

                Weightlessly,

                I flail into her blackbrown moat.

Bodies float

around me.

Previous affairs, no doubt.

Rusted tint coats my weary tongue.

                Underneath.

A dim light beackons.

                With abandon

I release my steel.

                And descend

                                Mightily

into Her Sacred Dreamscape.
