Obolus |
You dig my grave |
You run me through |
Show me my demons |
My angels, my muse |
The frayed ends of a dream |
Tied in a noose |
Show me my saviors |
My spectres, my devils, my dues |
At the rainbow’s end |
What use are promises of Eden |
To begin anew |
When hope is just another poisoned fruit? |
And can you bear to wear the death mask again? |
Dry your eyes, Sisyphus, and shoulder your burden |
And in the end, they’ll measure your worth |
By how much you’ve been broken |
And give you the stone to roll again |
And your final reward |
An obolus upon your lips |
For Charon’s passage to the shore |
Is it hubris to ask for more |
When the feast is at its end |
And the lights have dimmed? |
In this miserable play |
This grand mockery |
Where all is illusory |
In this absence of light |
I’ll burn an effigy |
I won’t take another bow |
To seek the face of life |
To pull the veil away |
To face annihilation |
And tear the masters from their gilded gates |
