I. Father
17:49

To test the lion in its cage
Or to tempt the Titan’s rage
He’s my firstborn
The apple’s seed is slow
But the bounty that will grow
It’s the sky torn
On the castles we have made
Where the dust and ashes laid
It’s my own blood.
When my flesh becomes cage
And my hands can end the age
He’s my own son

II. Mother

Gaze of the Eye casting doubt
Seed germinated in black earth drought
Rusty chainmail linkage tethered
From within the blows are weathered
Torrents rushing until slack tide
Salt forming in riverbeds now dried
Grounded to the forest floor
Malice forged in metal ore
Flickering embers stoked within,
Flames forming a calloused skin
The wisping wind knows no bound,
Heaving heavy breaths the final sound

III. Daughter

Through gates of unfolding darkness
Light of life is seen
Springing of the soul’s starkness
Revolution supreme
The soul of fire that men seek
Imperfection in a flower
A fruit of Eden at its peak
The blooming well of power
A child born, a fate to scorn
Our father’s bear our scars
From leaves of green, the future seen
From amidst the stars
Stop, just one time
Atop, crowns that chime
Warmth nearing
Frost disappearing
Alloy caste in flame
Tides to reclaim
Blue and green music
Therapeutic acoustic.
Bellfound tower’s poise
Clarity from the noise

IV. Son

I hold within your destruction
Narcissus guided by seduction
Here--I, below the reflecting pool
Reducing men to a pawned tool
Vines overgrown on the marble tomb
Four Horsemen ride, escorts of doom
Naked bones layer the earth
Sullen cheeks devoid of mirth
I am going home
I am fallen from grace
He carries my own blood
He is of my own flesh
The scarlet rose in full bloom
Hope springs eternal in the womb
Strands of sinew now torn
Lord of the swelling swarm
Begotten, I shall not want
Our patina’d masks now gaunt
Spires erected within death throes,
Teeming with souls the River Styx flows
