Lying On A Slab

Belly crawl after a dance. 
Carnivores were ready 
to jump on flesh. 

That underground beauty 
still believes in 
battle of flowers - 

skirting the hills. I am 
at loss of words, 
to describe the burial - 

of a strongman. Misreading 
a child god, he still 
posits a human clause. 

Darkness challenges the rival. 
Death for a believer 
of a spiteful cult. 

Into the hole, a snake hides. 
It is miracle, that 
you are still reciting.
