Valhalla 500

any heaven worth knowing    
is accessed through blood
   
   
the road to devotion    
tolled by tellers, who never see a pale face    
unless to pluck their barbed flowers,    
has more curves than straight-aways    
   
but, the planes when ridden    
iron out the kinks in fabric    
to single threads    
each with a dish of warm milk    
each straightened out enough    
to vanish    
   
everyday appears again    
   
bones ache from want    
blood yells outside the window    
of unrequited love    
   
a car is stolen to reacquaint    
with the road    
the motors fuel    
registered  
and plunged into release    
   
the carburetors open    
the paradise of throttle
forgets of the scars
from barbed flowers    
   
the road to devotion    
is paved in punctured skin    
   
the only heaven worth knowing    
is accessed through blood
