siloam-to dante

crawling through the Siloam tunnel
pestilential darkness cursing this existence
children wail cut on rock and sweating lifeblood
down
specifically
light shining through the rocks
push your way down gehenna
feel the hellfire
illuminate the stars
bow down to enslavement
by king nebuchadnezzar

Waterous cavern
cradle where drops of dew expire
on heated rock
that dove descending
shining
on other shadows
that pray devoid of heart
king Solomon corpse laid by the ark
I peeked in
but only those who see
him then
are put to sleep
annihilated by the chaos
and beyond the rock, a sheep strayed was lost
fell away near Nephilim desiring the dead sea

the burning hot
enveloped me
and I was then burning
and tempted times seven
by the goat Yehudi men
the serpent and the hen
the sun, the dark thus treasured by
other men

I walked the sorrows
trail tread
I felt the nails in my wrists
the great ascent, the mount of olives
he led me then into the town
away from rocks
and bid me home
I saw the eclipse
block out the sun to roam
away
I ran amidst the darkness and locust plagues
to mary then
begged me inside
and her blood did proceed as tears from both her eyes
and I was gone
a spark blown out
crawling through the Siloam tunnel
bid my soul away
let me out!!!
