The land opened up before me
I saw it all
erupting outwards
a holy dream
The skies went black
ash and fire
I saw it all
in a recurring dream
They were out
angels with wings
covered in tar
helplessly reaching out
I saw it all
when the ground opened up
and swallowed us whole
and it was never enough
Standing at the edge
me with my demons
reassuringly behind me
grinning their false sly smiles
I asked to wake up
and they said
not yet dear boy
witness, bear witness
Your frailty lies here
hold it in your arms
cradle it like an infant
then cast it off
You won't win this fight
it is you you are up against
let go of you
and we will too
