I was reading the manga Dorohedoro at the time and was inspired by the designs of Q Hayashida, speicifcally her devils. And how they would look guiding a parade of floating souls and silhouettes into purgatory contrasted against a beautiful twilit sky. Would it be haunting? Probably, but also very pretty. Written in 2022.
fascinated by the things
hovering in the punishing
sky. both the wicked and winged,
or the bare and featureless. pulled
along in a conveyor belt parade,
a silent march in the stratosphere.
floating forward to the place called
Limbo.
jagged horns pop the
clouds like balloons, withering skin
grazes the twilight. the softest
sky being cut into ribbons as
if it was a present that was
meant to be ripped open all along.
those foggy phantoms following
along. reaping the seeds they
sowed when they were more than
souls.
what a wonderful gift it must be
to hover over this hollow place.
