Spreadeagled on the altar
I wait
‘Are you a Raven?’ she asked
I do not know, I do not know
And does it matter?
‘It might’ she replied
A Psychopomp
Weaving its way to the underneath

Coiled within
waiting for the moment to expand
I see Archangels fall from the sky
in a fury of fire and wings
Much like you

What Leviathan sleeps
in the depths of this ocean
Poised to awaken
drunk with the ecstasy
Remembering me?

Who shall I recall?
Cool cheek against the stone
Just the face I knew before I was born
The fealty to which I am eternally sworn
Just you.
