Hollow

Torrents swell deep in a hollowed pit
Any traces of life swallowed by the Cronus like entity lurking within
Crimsoned black smoking nothingness
Nu, Strangles optimism
Wings docked

Docked by myself.

Copper tinges tangled on my tongue
Metallic putridity
Weigh my heart against a feather from my in-violet wings

Heavy.

And yet, like Pandora’s Box
Hope springs forward,
                            upward,
                                outward!
Watery forms glistening like the fractals of stars
Refusing to be consumed

                                                 Refusing.

Refusing.
