Semblance

I was born dead. My mother was a blind sky; my father was the sibilant wind.


I grew in a home enchanted by the horror. Men-faced spiders were my friends. I was the crystal child in a valley of death.

[I was] breast-fed by a vampire... Then, fire from Heaven above destroyed our home. Our abyss.
Our home-abyss, where the days were eternal, deafening.

Forced by celestial decree, I turned into an apparition equipped with centipede wings.

The astral elements cursed my path away then and forever, and I found the revelation of the Star of Israel, the children of Sem, the thunder that numbs.



I was the perplex astronomer, the inhuman beast, and here I am, standing, sticking the arrow deeper into my flesh, puking vipers.















Now, the wind started blowing again.

All the criminals are on the streets. Again.

I'm just a shadow of the past.
