Siamese Paths

flatlining
cartwheeling confetti sky
star to soul in angel glow
taste the speed of white rose
            light

         hitchhike
to the darkening side,
cascading down demon crevice
wings dipped in fiery
river Styx
into throats of molten menace

 a frosted defibrillator blast
gliding down a foggy path
raven nurse with hands of satin
sweeps my bed of rose and ashes
her smile...the scent of heaven
the eyes...the seeds of hell

I like, don't totally get it, but I'm close enough to appreciate it, and that's all that matters.
