Aethrioscope

by Sydney Z. Hampshire

Poem, thanks to reading far too much E.Dickinson in English Lit. Kinda odd, very ambiguous, almost definately some of Cid's first fragmented thoughts when he meets Vincent in Rocket Town for the first time, through to the ship and into crater.

Aethrioscope

So You stand there, Arrogance -

Like I've never seen - except -
In the Mirror – your Mirrored
Eyes, catching Me up,

You're too Good – it's Cruel-

How one Man can be so – Perfect –

Driving Me brain-Sick, I Crave –

Answers!

Dressing in blood, Wearing it –

Wish it was Mine – Demon stole My heart –

Away, beautiful Monster's talons –

Tear out My...

My soul – aches –

Swathed in Dawn taffeta –

Bloody red against the blue Sky –

Rising against it, Fighting You,

Sweet bitter tears – rain water

On the Window between Us –

Us – I – You, and God help Me!

Baking earth in the Rain and I am sick,

It's strength in Confinement,

Never Hazy in gaze –steady –

Cool touch – There-

I scream for It – You –

Bloody red against the Velvet sky –

Dark on Darker – broken Spirit –

And it's Mine,

Now – for Always.

The Devil's quest…

God help the lost Souls…
