Beautiful Decay

Adia Cupid Davis

3:00 pm:

Still no signs of resurrection




It has been so long

since you last departed.


Another hard battle

fought and won


A professed evil

defeated at the hands

of guileless Good’s

grace.


And yet,

despite your

parasitic nature,


I need you still

to do the tasks

I cannot.


You,

with your dark

and twisty ways,


who could all at once,

shatter the world


and moments after

it's breaking,


pick up the pieces

and form it even finer.


A weaver of

Beautiful

Decay,

you are.



You

spin words

I can no longer

live without.
