Birth Poem by soren Barrett

Birth

I have drank the poisonous drug of life that leads to illumination in the stars
Tasted it bitter and sweet, hallucinated on its illusions, heard its music in barres
Dirges played on the heart beat of waves, requiems in the breathing of the wind
A siren's whispers leading to graves, dreams where a cast of the dice sinned
Resurrection of ashes, flesh to dust, from a garden cast into a mortal world
Break one's teeth on pain, digest death, from vomit's bitterness eternity unfurled
