xviii. divine catastrophe

41 8 36
                                    

jessamine was in the place
         where no light shines
she had given all her souls
to mephistopheles
and would stay there for a while

simon avar,
     her lucifer
           her cain
                 her judas
had found religion in her angelic eyes
          as he prayed between her thighs
                                      (reached heaven)

he said
          lying tongue
get on your knees
allow me to teach you
              how to be holy

those memories of
         (the paradise lost)
simon's love
were a corruption of heaven
             a fate worse than hell
(dante would agree)

in the garden
he had sung eurydice's requiem
while he burned her lover alive

question:
does the devil ever look up
and regrets what he's done?

answer:
does God ever look down
and regrets what he's done?

(yes, always)

jessamine?
        a voice
              (tender silver)
        a gunshot
        a reminder of life
are you alright?

    ethan had finally left
and
the malfoys stared at her
with empathy
with apathy
           (you know which is which)

     i'm alright
she said
i'm alright
because she couldn't
                        afford the luxury
                        of suffering visibly

everything is alright
(another lie)
             too many lies

then
lucius poisoned the air
with his venomous words
                   sibylline tongue
the most excellent
and lamentable tragedy
                   of simon avar
                               (golden blood)
                   and jessamine palmer
                               (rotten blood)
the cruel god smirked
how adorable

jessamine would've killed him then
if she could                    (she couldn't)

instead
    she said
shut up, malfoy
you better watch your mouth
           if you have a will to live
      she would let him rot in azkaban   
      if he ever mentioned simon again

she wanted to cry
until she was
the blackhole
          the void
the abyss
that consumed her soul
she wouldn't cry in front of lucius

jessamine palmer considered him
                         a divine catastrophe
a heavenly body that would blind
      those who admired his beauty
      for too long
(daedalus mourns his son)

jessamine thought him deific
               although
               it wasn't a compliment
