Fires on Black Sabbath, The Alchemy of Sacrifice- Original Poetry- The U.S.S. MinnowPROSE!

in #poem6 years ago




Maps won't work here.
In this middle of this massive attack.
Just remember the teardrops won't burn tracks.
Take a walk in the rain.

Beats hitting like bullets, spinning right round.
Papercuts in the lead jacket.
Peeling open like flowers.
Open wound, clenched fingers.

Don't forget to check the traps.
Might find a deadmouse or two.
Clip clack, put em back.
Got another neck to snap, heads tweaking back.
In the nosebleed section.

For on the hilltop hoods will rise.
Lighting a scene for those coming home.
Again? again? again?
This black sabbath calls for another sacrifice.
Bury them with heavy metal.
Ride the lightning all the way to the ground.




In the castle of the black.
Only one portal can take us back.
Six for the circle, six for the track.
Chalky etching.

The laws permit a certain thing.
An exchange, binding.
Be sure to offer more than you take.
For the lock turns slowly.

With great effort, the scene is cut.
From the fabric of yesterday.
Old tomes scything open with nary a touch.
Slick fingers grope at cold steel.

To save my comrades, this is the task.
To hell with the cost.
I'll pay the piper this last time.
Otherwise, all is lost.
They say alchemy is impossible.
But I found gold enough to keep the devils at bay.
Hidden inside my soul.
Equivalent exchange?
..take it all.
Not even a drop left.
