Lake Rain Vajra

apokalypse girl
by Lake Rain Vajra

you are the sun glowing black in the night
wailing & twisting
laughing in the wind
your eyes taunt me
you run from light
chant my death
pass across my hands like silence
we are wolf-angels
crowned & cloaked in robes of midnight
where i follow your dark song
wild with fears i fall out of myself
we rise into the red sky
& fall in silence
wait for one
to wrap this wound
seal these lips
fill this hole
with wet
with sticks no longer green
i wait for you to follow me
to run into my night
& for a moment motionless
glow with light
