A scroll unrolled into
piercing hollow eyes;
woeful disturbed mind,
creature of the myths.
Tarnished broken halo
into a shadowed veil
hiding a crimson heart
where Raven’s roost.
The Book of Mirrors is
shattered into the sky
of colored faceted jewels
a cross dagger of piety.
Pages slashed or set afire
while Lime Rickey’s sour
in a deep inhaled voice;
enchanted Faeries sing.
