Description
The Scorpio of Seduction and Self Destruction

~ VII. Scorpio ~
i watch the Sun crawl back
to Hades,
pomegranate tears
in her flaming trail;
by the gates she stops -- right where i stand --
with teeth bared white

i feel like myself again
illuminated, purified
by the fire
of twelve eternities in stone and shame
of hearts ripped, names washed out,
my skin bleached black,
my eyes ablaze --
oh, all i've learned,
it was hell,
it was heaven, every shape and form,
it was a storm in a bloody ocean
but here I am --
Ruined.
Reborn.
as i stand tall,
neck-deep in ashes,
looking down on weaker former selves,
i laugh and laugh --
the future does not frighten
me.
it should be I,
the one who is feared now.
