shadow of contradiction

the leviathan struts like
thunder & bellows like
a raging
bull.

your thoughts are dusky
iron; your words are gleaming
steel.

your intent is
power; you have no
equal.

the vortex of your
presence consumes us.

you command our
love.

your will be
done.

out of the
brilliance of your
eminence

emerges the shadow
image of
your
id––

the ancient
guilt that will not be
forgiven

& the
wounds.
