![]() AshesA Poem by Crowley![]() Saviors come in many packages...![]() The tell tale thud of certain and excruciating circular death The air was sucked from the universe one missing breath after another The smell of ozone and radiation intoxicated, clearing her mind Mixed sharply with the taste of candied fear, poured from beautiful desperation Ashes to ashes my father Drink in the possibilities of fate Loosen your grip on dear children And do not temper justice out of emotional convention She sat on the stoop, eyes closed and dreaming in harsh pastel colors She devoured the emotional electricity of the city on the brink A million children asking why, shut up and let me in quickly Focus dear ones on the beauty of the still wired moment, conscious death Ashes to ashes my father Drink in the possibilities of fate Loosen your grip on dear children And do not waste precious energy in regret As the invisible wave rolled on, feeding on primordial pain, quenching She gathered the fear and locked it in momentary suspension and smiled War is not real, not the way this universal speck has packaged it She ate from the depth of the soul and its relationship to mother Ashes to ashes my father Drink in the possibilities of fate Loosen your grip on dear children Litter our hearts with a more precious understanding With a whisper that thundered, she released her grasp and bowed her head Sweet cacophony and unbridled epiphany filled the vacuous void Pain shattered mid air and clattered to the clay in splendid shards of grace And the pathetic ghosts of death danced lightly among her people, relieved Ashes to ashes my father Drink in the possibilities of fate Loosen your grip on dear children Let one be the voice of the many through telling eyes Mother let the unrepentant tide of dysfunction starve completely And hold me to your perfect breast until the morning has suckled wisdom Brushing the hair of the fates, one hundred strokes with razor blade brushes Allowing new growth and a look into the eyes of lucid understanding Ashes to ashes my father….. © 2018 CrowleyAuthor's Note
