The sun sets over Lake Washington.
Raphael has failed us yet again.
Hearts and blossoms close
in the abscence of light-
a sheer mist rolls in from the park
as though dead friends have
finally come to collect their dues.
A man walks by my window
clad in his rainment of night-
starry eyes devoid of passion
and piercing with independence.
And I know him
as though our glance
carried the weighty cables
of sex.
I am in him,
beside him,
below him,
above him,
I am him.
Somehow his body,
my body,
becomes night-
becomes my silver goddess
too free to be chained
by Love or his like.
The virgin huntress
gleefully lapping at the sorrow
spilling from the hearts of men.
Yes, I am this goddess.
Cold and on fire
I have slain Raphael.

Interesting background on Raphael. The slaying comes before the healing, but the healing is always worth what we have been through. Hope you have come to a new beginning.
