breakthrough

I need to feel your presence

find a way somehow

through a flame

or a hole

or a spirit 

somehow

give me a sign

I'm fuming

this scream refuses

to leave my throat

my eyes turn pale

with your absence

I circumambulate

your sacred fire

but the demons desecrate it

swallow the sky

in a fury only you can summon

clear the grounds

I'll be born again

like a breakthrough

~

I yawn like a king

and spring out of bed

the worst day of my life

excites me

my foes bring me

gifts from my mother

the One who swallows time and space

She enjoys a good gamble

I wager my flesh and blood

to feed Her raging laughter

teeth bearing

stop the crying

there's no losing

when you play for this team
