.
Today I went
to Hell,
to sell my soul
to the Devil.
I don't know how
it happened,
but I wound up
buying his.
Now I own
the tortured spirit
of an angel
fallen and disgraced.
He wants it back
so it can't pass
auctioned into the
wrong hands.
The dilemma
beckons an answer
from eternities
waiting hordes.
A decision so large
the universe
holds its breath
in chaotic silence.
I don't know how
it happened
but I've ended up
becoming the Devil.
