Dying, A Biblical Allegory Dying, A Biblical Allegory The colossal other world hidden behind numerous moons and rings a ball of ice glistening like Saturn or Jupiter as it migrates through the blackness in and out of space holes where this iceberg meets nothingness in orbits around its star. Here layers of spirits, merely electricity, have gathered and crystallized for millennia. Many times universal forces aberrated, reversing the migration of ghosts and returned goblins, hard as diamonds, to the earth’s poles where layer by layer, they created glaciers during Ice Ages. Centuries later, galaxies reasserted themselves, yanking adamant souls back to their graves and their black ice ball as if a magnet. The dead might devour the living during aberrations like Ancients’ Halloweens or All Saints Days. Like him beckoning outside the hospital glass. She, she dressed in her gray Easter suit pinned a black rose above her right breast wore comfortable shoes and her Sunday coat hobbled out the window and kissed him smiling for the first time since his death. He guided her between meteorites and space debris, past unnatural satellites just as he maneuvered her in life. They permeated frosty moons, flickering from the sun, where frozen particles clung to her, then through rings which netted her in layers of ice. Now a solid particle like him, a crystal impelled into the frigid ball of spirits without making so much as a pin prick. |
Additional Notes:
Sounds just like Bible stories, right?

A little kubla khanic for my tastes. Sorry. Galen made me say that.
Of course it sounds just like Bible stories. Yeah. Just like Bible stories.
Now my head hurts. Got anything to relieve brain freeze short of a vaccum cleaner set on high?
