what at first seemed strangely beautiful
revealed itself to be strangely terrible
too late they spied the window left open
in the horror show of the world
too late to trade the black magic in
for the one True God
true tardiness
and then
a shifting in the wind
the air of dream
you breathe and you breathe again
beauty that has no flaw
Beauty that died for us all.
to Live.
