SWEET IRON ANGEL
briefly. pt. 1
You thought the desert would take you. Running into her bosom as far as she deigned. Collapsing to your knees, teeth gritting sand until it was all you could breathe in.
You wept til sundown as the air above your bloodied head shimmered and your last wish was to die. You knew your mangled bones would not sustain you. You, the shadow on the horizon.
But the desert is not kind. The desert is not merciful. The desert has no God.
Instead it is he who kneels in front of you. He, the avenging angel. His soft chuckle whispers with the wind, curls in your ear. Cold fingers that squeeze your brittle cheeks. Chin tilted upwards into the moonlight.
When he speaks you hardly rouse, hardly see him. He chastises like he sings. Smooth and rolling.
Look and see.
The king of iron,
crucified in the sand.
Tears may wash the blood from your face, but your hands will never be clean.
Up now.
To your feet.
You scarcely feel your legs as he sits you up. Falling forward against him. Strong arms and a hard body. The kind that never relents.
He stands. You rise. Towering over him. A flick from his hat would topple you. As he binds your hands the Grinning Demon leers.
Your first mistake was trusting that smile.
