Two Shadows Walking (Poem)




Two Shadows walking...


Who did what, I do not know???

But I saw the man who walks between the raindrops, and he showed me where to go:

"Lay her body in a creek and break it up with stones.''

"The blood is love and life you seek and sweetness is in the bones."

Now ..her eyes, still asking why?-

Gain the immortal glare.

And look upon this world's great green gods and live within their stare!

 Beyond, beyond the moss and rocks, I felt a shock! T'was nature's face unveiled.. 

Eternal cycles, birth and death -my sense of self assailed.

Then smiling vines pour evil wine to reward me with a kiss, 

Dionysus brings great lust and horror -...we'll live forever in his bliss.

Oh Three shadows know now where to go to for the sacrificial rite, 

Where the creatures of the darkness meet the creatures of the light.
