"...descended into hell..."A Poem by F. Mary Jesson“...descended into hell…”
A long way down Such a very long way down One little step Just one little step Switch to my mind’s eye Arms wide Point my toe
Wind in my face Rushing past my ears Around me and through me Washing me clean Down Down Down No fear No effort
Free-falling and Falling free and Free to fall To descend into hell Into The Hole Feel the snap and The Wolves let go of me and I let go of the Wolves
And now I’m leaving The Hole Ascending into heaven Weightless and Careless and Forgiven and Free
