By Emma

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The Last Mayan Plea Ritual Queen on her knees Stingray’s spine and rope of thorns Red drops on parchment Offering Torch burns in the night Sacred smoke of blood rises Hungry are the Gods Rejection Celestial hands Outstretched palms revealing fate Windblown red dust Apocalypse Cinnabar falls slow Snows upon feather and bone Heaven’s answer made Written March 16th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 03:10 PM PST   0 • 10
