"Engulfed"

Prose to describe the duality that stretches beyond the landscape of my soul.

Shadows tease the parameters of my senses,

   scratching,ever closer to the center.

I am not of pretty verse when comets whisper, ugliness of        sanctity atoned.

Tattered ashes

   peer through flame,sweet contrition

   to blur promise of

   saline colored  doom.

I too, am relentless   waterfall, in

   in my unrequited thirst

   for sacred temple.

I will spin as tethered yarn

   in the maw of arachnid

   so adept at home in vertigo.

Clawing gently to reshape

   sound ascending

   gasping sunlight

   ingesting paranoia, my lover.

I claim Pisces,

   liquid fire,  unfelt  gods yet to be born

   for will o' wisp's  intent to pursue.

Thrashing steel, I release failed

    placenta,

    cursing  air, to swallow heat

    and I dive deep.
