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
