it was said of me . . .

across the eternal city
god made me to be :
the one who
trysts eternity
perhaps if this was,
the end of the age,
and we were
the
      last
            ones
. left . here .
on
      our
            own
if i was abandoned
for what i believed,
so dearly
would you
still love me?
would you adore
my writhing gibe ?

just as alchemists alloy azyme
compounding salvation to baptize
remplissage of cold Versailles

if they debunked
everything i pride ?
could you honestly
pull the hatchet loose
and sacrifice, for me,
i
am
a - m - b - r - o - s - i - a
on the god's platter
why don't you come to?
free me
loosening
free me
for free ? (yes, it's hard, but am i
worth your fear ? )

understand
      for me
           please
                 so
                    simply

nothing can help me
it's your choice now
how will you choose?

>>>>>>>>>>>>

take the road which fits your palm
and in it lies the cusp of dawn
to where we stagnate after all
liberation is our realm
the apocalypse never took this direction . . . it was too geared for non-foreigners
