Altar of the Gods
I'll bring over
The glass
And by your Achilles
Heel, may the glass
Be broken
How many arrows
Must you shoot
All over my swollen
Body before
You hit me
In my heel
The glass shards
Poke me with their
Flaming darts
And I cry out,
Begging you to take them
Out
Yet you stand there
And I realize that
I've had a bow
And arrow tucked
Beneath my arms
And they boomeranged
Back to their home
So I take the shards out
And my hands bleed
While you watch,
Pleased with the smell
I've offered at the
Altar
And I love that
This all finally
Subsides
Yet I can't help
But wonder:
"Is it all gone?"
