Belial's Secret

Belial's Secret

 

 

 

sarcastic angel

clipped wings of freedom

chained in guardianship

of her own sustenance

 

in the alley way

the needle,

she's given up prayer

believes only in what goes into her vein

 

as she slips into semi-consciousness

she remembers a certain statue

in a church of familiarity

 

but then the image

dilutes against her will to live

she now wants to fly away

to a god,

she quit believing in

 

when she decided only addicts could soar

high enough to make a difference.

This one has me puzzled and thinking as you mix the Jewish devil with drug abuse and recovery. As always it sets the little grey matter I have afire with cognitions. Sublime descriptive poetry with an edge.

There is no freedom in drug addiction. Addicts are chained to their habit. This is hard hitting. The soaring and flight on wings or drugs works superbly.
