Ignitiation
We willingly expose,
offer blood and agony.
Sacrificial phoenix, a’blaze
upon charred altar’s throne.
Seared eyes, scalded tongues;
bitter acid drips to anoint,
to hallow, to invoke,
again and again to approximate
perfection.
Each coronation marked,
perfume of condensing steam,
carnate fluids.
We surrender hope,
our innocence, familiarity,
for the freedom wisdom implies.
Loosened grasp on mortality,
slipping digits still desperate to
hold
the next piece of the code.
Power – so slender, so sleek and
bare,
essential,
air that moves worlds.
Burn raw, pure, to feel beyond
what thought could imagine, to
know.
disclaimer
Those who lose their souls to
religionCaught
up in frames against their better angels
Might, if the spirit so o’ertakes their visionCome to discern divisive righteousness’s dangers
