BLACK AND WHITE

The Bat Call

(painting by r.margetts)




BLACK AND WHITE

Apollyon and the Sustainer

lived and bitched

from a fallen angel

into the hallow ditch

from a dog did rise

a Deity evolved from a wolf

Gabriel took the black

and Michael the white

across the Styx against the light.

Did he who created the day

flower the world

and befriend Lucifer?

Did he who sang to live

thrown from heaven

rewolf the Earth

and sing evil?

From the skies did bile drip

and the sentinel of the night

crawl among the flowers?

From the dirt did the fig grow

to give life to blind creatures

so that they may walk in thickets?

From the wolf did flow

evil that was to live

and the blind that day

did cower from the light.

And the serpent of the dark

frolicked in the spoils on the Seventh day.

Black and White

the equinox is today.
