The Breath of Loki

The Breath of Loki-- the cost and trials of listless wandering
________

       Rise,
    and
Fall
       Rise,
    and
Fall.

Curtained windows bellow
Crimson-yellow tracers
so hideous.
Forest chorus, joyous
Hedonistic breathing's
quite persuasive.

I hear his call
       Rise,
    and
Fall
I know it all
       Rise,
    and
Fall
too well.

Moonlit shades raised from graves
Life-blood beats pumping feet
Veiled admission.
Possession. Elation.
Spirit fueled jeweled pupils*
False creation.

Humming along
       Rise,
    and
Fall
to Siren’s song
       Rise,
    and
Fall
daydreams.

Foyer creaks, Van Gogh peeks
Eyes no need to sneak heed.
Contrive foresight.
Pale, frail, soft strides alive
Body and mind(?) lying
dry intertwined.

       Rise,
    and
Fall
And shackled.
       Rise,
    and
Fall.

Steel clatter chatter rat-
tles the inner sanctum.
Sublime pantomime
Victory!- I succumb.

       Rise,
    and
Fall.
Then alone.

The lifeless remains, stains.
Rhythmic liquid dying.
And drying.
A secular
sight never seen,
Alchemical
lame brain shanghai.

       Rise,
    and
Fall.

Curtained windows bolden
Crimson-golden tassels
Certainly settling.
Forest chorus, boring
Child-like light breathing
Incredibly annoying.

       Rise,
    and (I fasten shut the window)
Fall.
