Battlefield

Battlefield

I walked these streets

with the Experimenter,

hand-in-hand

with the Renovator,

hip-to-hip

with the Revelator -

face-to-face with myself

and the deluge of devils

obliterating angels

that beckoned

and haunted

even my waking hours,

sealed with a sweet soul kiss

and coercing me into forgetting

the Enabler I had become.
