Lilith, Finale Moon

Zenith swirls of black rose petals,
burst into a flock of circling crows,
descending ash and rain on my frozen form.

Viscera and scarlet pools flash,
feet running of a child,
car screeching tires with broken glass.

Piano motif grave into a tilt,
fingers dancing like butterflies,
levees welting over the brim crimson,
down the side of the dam,

Moon alabaster dust suspended,
upside down pyramid spins ever so swiftly,
I wish to go inside this burgundy sepulcher.

Ferryman take the bribe from the crypt keeper,
under the veil of the cloak in black,
piano crescendos with a cello in orchestra.

Now I float amongst the wraiths, 
nevermore.

Golden silence here in crepuscule,
wonder if that sun ray in the distance,
is meant for me, 
a telephone ring.

Teardrop a shudder in a large mirror reflecting, 
zeal cherry blossoms in its grasp.

Lilith is the queen of darkness,
caution tape blueberries and cherries,
a moth that never emerged from larva.

Skulls pile up at the cemetery,
husk buried separate on the moon,
an ethereal tether to the void.

To live a long life is to die alone.
