Traumgottin: the Heart Is a Crater

"In musical notation, a bar (or measure) is a segment of time corresponding to a specific number of beats in which each beat is represented by a particular note value and the boundaries of the bar are indicated by vertical bar lines." “I would traverse not once more, but often the hell of my inner being. One day I would be a better hand at the game. One day I would learn how to laugh. Pablo was waiting for me, and Mozart too.”  Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf “All interpretation, all psychology, all attempts to make things comprehensible, require the medium of theories, mythologies, and lies.” Hermann Hesse,Steppenwolf “Ah, Harry, we have to stumble through so much dirt and humbug before we reach home. And we have no one to guide us. Our only guide is our homesickness.” Hermann Hesse,Steppenwolf "Stumbling Between the Immensities", Artist: Ben Stack "Traumgottin: The Heart is a Crater" The heart is a crater left smouldering cut deep What does it matter if I cannot sleep You travel peacefully in the green zoo your wild caged like a dark creature banging your music bars your beaten notes marking stolen time I glide like Cimmerian Traumgöttin cutting your heart into fine lines with machine gun precision no need for a blindfold, all the better - I’m executing you with style My heart is a crater boiling blood rivers run down dark deep down to the underworld riding the River Styx, no need for a gown I lie supine in my macabre gondola I’ve left your House of Cards and it’s tricks A different Ferryman moves his oar he’s from another land, the Land of Hemimetabola I calmly pluck your death tune feeling soothed on my sad macabre exquisite mandola Close my eyes, swallow dreams of straw houses blown down by the son of chaos, dark Steppenwolf In the ether my twin soul possesses me, I’ve been bit I was Aether, now I’m her reflection, I no longer sit Stumbling between the Immensities, her dark majesty moves inside me in the River's mirror, she now smiles back "Welcome Home dear daughter," she decrees, "I am Nyx".
