Hinokami

A goddess appears before me, 
dreamless in a wave of fire,
a feeling of destructiveness induces rebirth

Her flames gave life to the butterflies emerging, unfolding their graceful wings; 

as her skin reflects the moonlight, 
monarch butterflies encircle her burning aura 

Deep beneath the pores of her skin, splashes of mercury seeps through

They say butterflies are known to be signs that angels are close by...
well I felt it, but also the soul of this woman, 

sparks spit, her hands burning;
embrace full of a goddesses flame

She birthed herself a goddess in this very moment
