Holding her last breath,

adrenalized antiquity

tasted tearfully bitter

as it bloated inside

her burgeoned belly.

Serpentine smoke

of stale spirits

spiraled around her body

waiting for the death bite,

the consumated words resisted

as the unspoken ones awoke.

while dark clouds attempted

to grip her light tight

staring down the demonic faces

she saw the evil that once existed,

fade until nothing of it was left.

with faith she still clung to her prayers,

as her light let go of her last breath .
