girl becomes haint

by Allister Nelson

The Devil once said my soul was a black hurricane.

That every time I injured myself, I bled red gold.

Through Satan’s eyes shadowed mountains engulfed,

my spirit the abyssal storm, tempestuous, ruinous.

(My mania and fire of violence razed stone houses,

sucked water from wells, lifted wolves to the air.)

I carried dragons of pitch, in me were the waves

of tsunamis, abreast on thousand mile gales, I

was beautiful, I am wretched, maybe I’ll be Lilith

and eat the corpses of infants, maybe I’m Medusa

and when men get too close, they turn cold and stony.

My heart is a harbinger of doom, my heart is wind!

You could siphon the currents of my blood in a flute –

its tremor would break the Seventh Seal, o Beast

of the End, come to my thundercloud breast and suckle!

I smite friends and foes alike! I am Venom Murder!

Black Snake of the Sky.

Void Mother!

Girl Hurricane.
