The swish and flick
of the sharp-edged blade
An anti-physical, metaphorical
twirling dance of fire and flame
Spinning, slashing, slicing,
shards of my soul
scattered on the floor.
Divided heart,
photographic memory,
remembrance day
for the wilderness
The red bloodstain
on the stainglass floor,
trees among the wasteland.
An unseen hand
behind the blade
Extension
for the mind of fire
Refuse to understand
and you'll accept much more,
given your heart is gone.
An unartistic artform
circles of blood
within circles of stone
Ritual sacrificed souls
the show the self we sold
to bigshot marketers,
feeling our way through
back to the first floor forest
where the blood has dried
the soul has died
They know you've lied,
just to escape
our fragmented reality.
Swish and flick,
sword and flame,
see the feeling deep withing,
show the falling soul, and then
Pick up the strands,
replace your soul and heart
with a sharp-edged blade of your own.
Refuse to understand,
you'll accept much more
given your heart is gone.
