Ascension
by Walter Durk
Beneath celestial
skies
sentient creatures dwell
cats' claws sink deep
gripping gritty soil
strewn
with shards of shattered
crystal
Limbs thrusting
tensely
forcing forward
upward
still, in the midst of the pinnacle
Chaos
lurid, primitive
amid verdant temptations
weeds, woods, dusk.
Inexplicable.
Sharp-edged gusts herald
the bestial cockatrice
intent to stare
catching the cats' eye reflection
a Cougars kiss of death
Keen sight thrusts open
windows
the soul perceives soundless silence
tranquility
singularity
Extinguishing
itself
the cat twines
ascending toward the pinnacle
it rests, agleam
among Sala trees

This is based creatively
upon myths of the Basilisk (Cockatrice) and our striving toward
Nirvanam. Cats kiss with their eyes, their long stare, and the
Cockatrice, seeing itself reflected in the cats eye, is destroyed. A
Basilisk is the god of death, and represents sin and evil among us.
