the Devil's farewell



The Devil walks. Thud. Thud. Thud.
Her walk sounds like thunder and looks like lightnin
He leaves behind a trail of fire and smoke.
The smell of crushed bone and fresh blood blooms in Their wake. 

She turns and smiles and it feels like you're frozen solid.
You catch a glimpse of His face. Hello Father, you say.
Hello, Mother. Hello, birthgivers and lifetakers. 

Kiss me softly. 
Kiss me with the frenzy of childbirth and
 the fervent praying of a devotee.
Kiss me with all the emotions crushed into one, 
the colour of the darkest of nights and the most violent of desires.

I come to say goodbye to you all.
And I come to bid farewell to Me. 
For I am God, and I am the Devil.
And I am everything in between.

Thud,
  Thud,
       Thud.
