The lamp
A brick

The burning pit 
flaming forge 
of life. 

Stray as an echo 
lures and spurs

To speak 
with the ocean 

Larks unfurl
raise the dead

Darkening ruptures
do battle 
with my life. 

Sacred and torn
like Biblical corn

Rigged a mutiny
incredulous, but brutally

Cinder's pig
devil's fig 

Arose presumably -
bent on and dutifully

For freedoms strife
intelligence haunting
the afterlife.
