Combustion

by jordan-lee-mercer

I have done it, brought myself to pass over. I bleed farewell to my lover, she has hated seeing signs, but best she begin benign and untold untruth undone, her life relieved and vows unsown, I reset, I have done it, ended the line of my inherited sin, the trials and trips my parents did begin, the one and only son they did depend, my blood spills forth funneled as the pen, bad blood bleeds first from within, not to forget. I have done it, grip on your world is fading, I say farewell to my home to trappings of this past and mortal beating, I smile at my release of things, of being unleashed from the peelings, do not fret. I have done it, my fiendish brain is shot on the blue starry wall and blots on this read and written page, let go of ego and thoughts and again forever not spin the vile traitorous plots, nor burn fires of lecher’s knavish fraught, no regrets. I have done it, new eyes cast over the old shell rise from the ashes of a living hell, blood dries whence did well, winds scatter bones to sail, I feel the light call my fast reveille, my fire is set. I have done it, our world before me set right, torch within me shines the light new fire, new blood burns with might of death’s refresh that hath smite the depressed, and risen the phoenix bright, to reincarnate.
