A Breaking of the Gods Pt. 1 War

I lost the dictionary definition
of humanity somewhere
in the ashes of burnt wood
and when I stood upon
the precipice of feathers
floating down to raging waters
on jagged cliffsides
unflinching to the wicked rocks
beckoning for my life
I looked back then

Jumped

Why didn't I die?
I cried in horror to find
I was drifting in the
smoke-swollen sky
and my fingers curled around
the aching air but could not grip
the pain of the life lost below

And I saw my gods seeing me
the fright in my eyes
a child facing her fear of heights-
or perhaps a fear of the unknown?
I climbed with a trepid heart
towards the strikes of light
electric, static, attacking
the blood-kissed night
and Their rage slowly humbled
the fire that raped what was left
of my world

I've never seen Aries cry
but tonight..

He weeps.
