The legion of the lived

I sensed a chorus underground
Lurched the shoes and smoke, 
would break cathedrals in half
when it sounded up from the rock.
 
In a dirty limestone city of Christ 
The underworldly plains rolled out
bruising skies, and birds the size
of men, who rattled in their clothes
 
The gems between their fingers
glittered like red stars from roofs 
and opening the thick black dirt
grew and grew a quiet coliseum the 
voices marching up 

 

After curling inside the couch for

2.5 days I clicked your description

you were called a Black Witch Moth

polilla de bruja negra

and you were filling my whole room 

the light was aimed at a dark glass

somewhere behind the white door

I prayed you away.
