a corridor slight as the entrance to goodness is black
and fragile
the journeymen are safe and warm as light itself within the entrance to evil
then in countervoices contrarywise configure
the shadows & ensculpted escapements and mechanisms of forces
malevolent
all gaudy bright and warm as dappled sunlight comforts grief
inviting all desires bright as scarlet candy ladies swirl
for warmth
for comfort
for life
to fight
for life
like a riddle
men fall to hell then scatter their moral compasses bankrupt
the Devil be their treasurer of stars
and black be their God
brighter than the Sun
