Lilith, Finale Moon

Zenith swirls of black rose petals, burst into a flock of circling crows, descending ash and rain on my frozen form. Viscera and scarlet pools flash, feet running of a child, car screeching tires with broken glass. Piano motif grave into a tilt, fingers dancing like butterflies, levees welting over the brim crimson, down the side of the dam, Moon alabaster dust suspended, upside down pyramid spins ever so swiftly, I wish to go inside this burgundy sepulcher. Ferryman take the bribe from the crypt keeper, under the veil of the cloak in black, piano crescendos with a cello in orchestra. Now I float amongst the wraiths, nevermore. Golden silence here in crepuscule, wonder if that sun ray in the distance, is meant for me, a telephone ring. Teardrop a shudder in a large mirror reflecting, zeal cherry blossoms in its grasp. Lilith is the queen of darkness, caution tape blueberries and cherries, a moth that never emerged from larva. Skulls pile up at the cemetery, husk buried separate on the moon, an ethereal tether to the void. To live a long life is to die alone.

Oh, this is excruciating. "Teardrop a shudder in a large mirror reflecting, zeal cherry blossoms in its grasp." That says so much.

A dark take on the contest.. It weaves together vivid, often unsettling imagery to explore profound themes of death, transformation, and the existential quest for meaning. The blend of gothic, surreal, and mythological elements creates a rich tapestry that invites the reader to reflect on the nature of life and the inevitability of death. Each stanza builds on the last, leading to a powerful, contemplative conclusion. Congratulations on your first place in the contest.
