I am a last echo from a world long since shattered,
|
||||
remade in the image of a man who only yearns
|
||||
for power, for obliteration
|
||||
of all that does not please him.
|
||||
I am told you, with my sister,
|
||||
are creating a world without end,
|
||||
a world all her
|
||||
own. This is the fate of all Meridian gods,
|
||||
those that did not spring from mankind's evil odds.
|
||||
In this I am not surprised.
|
||||
But I am also told that she seeks to defy
|
||||
her fate, to not allow the world to subsume
|
||||
her consciousness once it has come into full bloom.
|
||||
Indeed, in this she has partially
|
||||
succeeded, if only due to being bound to a corporeal body
|
||||
in an Inside so far away.
|
||||
But the clock is ticking, you who lies
|
||||
at the end of the road, at the point of every line.
|
||||
if I could, I would proclaim you blessed
|
||||
and her acquitted from this death sentence.
|
||||
But I am long since dead, and this echo almost passed.
|
||||
Time is for you of the essence.
|
||||
You have proclaimed often that you wish to spend
|
||||
your whole life with her. Within this year
|
||||
will come time to make good on your promise.
|
||||
I have faith success will be assured
|
||||
if you are there to protect her.
|
||||
I would ask no less
|
||||
for my precious sister, my destructive Seliph.
|
||||
|
||||
She is going to give a whole new world to you.
|
||||
My final wish: please, ensure
|
||||
she can experience it too.

One can't raise a caricature of a human being
|
||||
and then draw that same self livid
|
||||
when everything their child sees
|
||||
is out of proportion.
|
||||
|
||||
Turn again the ragged page,
|
||||
but cover your eyes so you don't see
|
||||
the crude pencil-filled sketchings
|
||||
of my genus, my culled genious,
|
||||
blueprints of my taxidermy,
|
||||
footnotes of a contract forever ago signed:
|
||||
"You promise me that you'll be mine
|
||||
for as long as I can keep you alive."
|
||||
|
||||
A blood oath
|
||||
that we both
|
||||
signed
|
||||
with the rivers through which flow our lives.
|
||||
But I got too much under my fingernails,
|
||||
double-crossed in reflex, same unleashing hell
|
||||
in a moment I made the mistake of asking if all was well.
|
||||
And when I noticed what I had done,
|
||||
I turned back the hands of time
|
||||
to when you and I
|
||||
were still alive.
|
||||
A memory is just a record, one that I can rewrite
|
||||
in case of failure, in case hard enough I did not try.
|
||||
|
||||
You only know of this because this deep-
|
||||
sworn vow I am unable to keep,
|
||||
to keep to myself the number of rewinds.
|
||||
I am testing, and you are production,
|
||||
only knowing of the strand of fate accepted,
|
||||
battle-tested,
|
||||
deemed sacred and happy and true.
|
||||
Is it comforting, I wonder, to know
|
||||
there will be no futures where I hurt you?
