Song of the Blessed
Skin trophy draped over chandeliers
champagne corks popping below
gyrating doves chanting like crow.
Though wounded it slithers alive
gathering hate for a big fang surprise
venom trumps feathers with a roll of the die.
Sated by sun and wrecking ball fate
at the bottom of the nest it quietly lay
donning a necklace of blue shattered egg.
Surround the coil with a halo of respect
most victories drown in shallows of brevity
silent rattle is truly the song of the blessed.
