Scarlet Pact

Let them come, 

let them gather,

Let them congregate in masses

or not at all. 

With metal in their mouths

Let them bear witness my own liberation.

I rescind this blood oath.

I can absorb no more. 

Like a sopping scarlet sponge 

clinging to the darkness,

she’s dripping with despair. 

Let us be wrung dry. 

For tonight, I am the moon,

and the moon is me.
