Tells Tolls Tribute
Tells Tolls Tribute
The veil of shadows is the bright rite of passage
it casts its rainbow when the final curtain falls
Dressed in lost voices and dark sunken eyes
Pythia sheds prophesies
blathered gone gibberish
Bleeding demise’s dry tears in whimsical withering longing she once and for all
exhales combination of Delphi monopoly competing contradictions in contrast
one last breath on the journey to wisdom Nirvana contrasting conviction blast
from the past when she had found her voice and her voices to betide and befall
An ancestor now
once vital exuberance
still shedding meaning
in reverse grave graveness’ grave
she tells tolls tribute for us
