The crimson hue
of daylight carved
the horizon
like a jagged razor.

The night, leaving
howled back at me.

Broken upon the mountain
served up to the sky
sacrificed to the whim
bones and dust.

Hammer blows of
light and thunder.
Now I glow
defiant.

Steel raised.

Like a torch
against the dawn.

Forged in creation
tempered in emptiness
whetted upon
the wheel of life.

Polished by love
furnished by friends.

Jeweled by eyes
from the darkness
reflecting

the crimson hue
of daylight carving
the horizon
like a jagged razor.
