The worse thing in the world
By Jessica Orr
Canned food.
packed,
map of labyrinth
in bag;
I travel lined
street to the
hole is the deep
forest known as
pamukkale.
Ancient place
unearthed,
descent with
hardy adventurers,
but still none
came back
but me.
This hell is place,
a secret I did take,
and laughing it found
me,
almost out.
"You have ridden my
tails and I heard
your wails under
My dusty beak"
it spoke
"Faith was failing,
winged one,
I follow teachings
and what I feel
was just"
said I.
"Golden wreathes we
do receive, glances
and tears, we adore;
you don't know how
close you came to
telling the world"
Its shine was blinding,
all I knew was found,
then,
at the bottom of
an endless white
heat.
The angel did pause
before his death blow
and asked were my
soul was off to.
"I had always known,
heaven was a place
I couldn't be. Your heaven
is a fallen paradise were
angels maim and children
weep. The door we
found at satan's lap
led to The Lord.
Your rebels were
fleeing, by far
more pure which
humors me! "
His grin lessened
but then he swung
his blade; I saw
time and I wasn't
afraid-
Years later another
young girl thought
to find the key;
she descended into
pluto's domain;
intent on a door;
She opened it
and saw
his
throne.
