The Orb of Blood

By Riven Waker

It was a neural climax
I stepped out into the night
I was intended and designed to be
Something more... more than human
The room had swam with the constant
The multiverse suspended in space
Was my web and its denizens
All my prey - I stood there
In the night but never...

Alighted in its air
Igniting
Upon its dark sky

    I thought the structure was very interesting the upper section looked very orb-like. Once again you paint such an immense amount of imagery with each line. Much enjoyed :)
