Awakening Furies - an art work by T Newfields

Awakening Furies

I'm a dark bull
charging towards the blood-red muleta coths
of illusion

I'm a wild raven
pecking your cracked cranium
& munching on your brains

I'm an annoying gnat
sipping slowly on your warm blood
then flying away

I'm every nightmare
you can imagine
& will haunt those
concerned about
their own short-term gain

Curse me now -
but thank me later
for teaching all this lesson:
in this world
we must transcend all fear

Carlos: (shaking his head) Sure glad I don't know this guy!
Brice: Same here.
Devani: (shrugging her shoulders) Can we know another person deeply?
Anya: Yeah. Most people prefer superficial acquaintances to real knowing.
Devani: (laughing) Real knowing? What a wonderful fiction!
