Origin Of The Flame...3* Poem by elysabeth faslund

Origin Of The Flame...3*

Rating: 5.0


'Kyrie Elieson' chanted winds to water...
Strangled muffled-silent bedrock
When, manacled and shackled, it screeched,
'I will become...
The lifting rock, sightless,
In mist-flown premonitions.'
One heard...one saw...
Searing, scraping talons
Raking years in sacrifice for
'Christe Elieson...'

Winds did not pray
Upon waves this day...
For the Dragon
Knew thirst.
