Mephitic Cadger Poem by Elliott Rosenberg

A blandish soul in search of ataraxy heaves forward towards an apogee
of endless space,
Where a trenchant prism refracts the psyche conflated with malicious rancor.

Vanquished to darkness drubbed with illusion,
all self reverence exudes with exhilaration.
A schematic sky lusters her thunderous veins,
as a barrage of demons quell to sprout angels.

And so it was that I was reborn,
purged from a mephitic society.
