Axis Mundi

Axis Mundi Death is beamed through the sky! So the sunshine boy Goes on rasping light between his fingers, And paving paper-hearts white. He let the mini-angels Rest their halos on his back during their journey. All the while his lover Was left behind screaming about. Every Word could hear her twinkling death sounds, "This is the end....... This is the end!" She screams. The boy and lover render slow smearing kisses, And bloody the mercury waters into Blue black oil-marbled currents. A tide pool where the heartbeats waver and go out. Together they saddle up on meteors, And ride violently till they come jagged diamonds. At this point they listen to the comets chatter like teeth, While their hearts extract and retract from volcanoe mines Where the walls were sharp and obsidian. It ripped their feet to shreds Like tattered fire sheets of cream linen. The next day they woke in black Eden sands And a half-utter later, They followed the shoal of sprats Down migratory blades on the horizon. The setting night is bleeding now... And still death remains on the map.
