Revelation

[Arachne]

...harsh effluence still sounds a sigh;
angels circle round the corners of my eyes;
Death’s shadow falls over me,
I know my own mortality,
and broken is the seal,
when a poem is real.

I am not one for structure, but I like that the words are able to create a visual in that I see a man who envisions his eventual departure from his body. At the same time, the "broken seal" symbolizes life beyond death in that your writing will live on. The poem is real and is an extension of self.
