“Transfiguration”
Revenge ... attained
Bittersweet, intoxicating
For one moment
Hopes come to fruition
Glorious, transcendent
For one second
Suspended in Elysium
Divine, satiating
For one instant
Transfigured into the arbitrator
Of Earthly justice
Revenge ... shattered
Stymied
Thwarted
Foiled
An eon
Suspended in Purgatory
Subcutaneous cuts
I cannot bleed you ...
–––––– Will I now bleed myself?
An eternity
Of a bottomful, bottomless feeling
Hopes come to obliteration
Remorse surfacing from an endless abyss
–––––– I should have ... what?
An infinite expanse
Of desolate desert
Blood flowing within my veins
Congealing in death
–––––– Yet boiling in life
Crushed, comatose
Transfigured into a beast,
Muzzled, caged, enslaved
Sinking in my quagmire of impotence
