alight;
he smiles then, and even though it is well past midnight, its as if the sun has just come out. |
"TIMO-"
he ends on a frantic heartbeat
struck like a piano key.
it plays a single chord;
a girl screaming his name
a boy lost in darkness and begging for light
(he shall join him there, soon, but not in the same endlessness)
an angel spitting words from hell.
the dead come stripped of life
a chorus of death
a chorus of death
here to play their last ensemble
entitled with his name.
(there is steel at his throat.)
the sound resonates
hangs in the air
falls through ears
until it fades into nothing
(the boy is still smiling
with a finger to his lips
with a finger to his lips
because he's heard this song before.)
quick,
a second
a moment.
and he with it.
"-THY!"
everything,
everything,
everything-
stops.
. . .
i never knew daylight could be so violent. |
they grasp at his soul.
alight
ignite
take flight
they carry him away.
this world is blinding
as he travels through eons of life
of love
of death.
white
burning, irredescent
everywhere.
claws digging into his soul
soft as a feather
eyelashes like wings against a cloud.
(shhh!)
he sighs.
(listen!)
and then they come for him
midnight ripples
poisoning everything
everything
everything-
collides.
ripping, shredding, tearing
a battle for him
for his existence
for his martyrdom
for his entry to the beyond.
scorching
thrashing
white, black, good, evil.
(for the girl! they scream
for the girl!)
blood on his hands
the colour of death
darkness bleeding from every crevice remaining within him.
and he is dragged down
down
down
entombed in a rapture of wingswaiting for the feeling
of hitting the ground.
(falling, feeling, falling
it's all the same)
he closes his eyes.
. . .
once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward... |
(a hand reaches out from the depths of beyond
plunges its light into the madness
and steals him away.)
the end is damp.
and tall.
and blue.
and blue.
(a girl laughs.
his mother smiles.)
grit lies underneath his fingertips.
leaves dance, their scent wafting through the air he breathes.
("he's here," a voice says calmly.
"he!?"
"yes. his name is-"
"a boy?!")
light sparkles against his skin.
(the sun shines.
the sand whispers.
the forest calls him home.)
he stirs, hovering between here and there
as if the winged creatures still hovered above him
entrapping him in sleep.
("i can do it."
grey eyes meet brown
and they glisten.
"i can help him."
"i know.")
footsteps patter toward him
and then become still.
watching.
waiting.
wondering.
(finally, he opens his eyes.)
