It had something to do with alchemy
lemon juice, blood and cardamom
sunlight breaking through clouds
gusts of wind that mark the oncoming of a front
endlessness of ritual and the ritual of endlessness
it had something to do with survival
the release of tears and the foot feeling the ground again
it had something to do with the black cat
escaping into the night to crawl through portals
who did jesus die for?
