“And following its path, we took no care
To rest, but climbed: he first, then I– so far,
Through a round aperture I saw appear
Some of the beautiful things that Heaven bears,
Where we came forth, and once more saw the stars.”

And so he divulges from his path, careless and erratic

Pushing forth down into stalactites burning hellfire

The Call of Satan beckons him to come below

Unholy sights behold, suffering and shadows lurk the floors

Where we came forth, and once again the flames wrap around his body

As he embraces the heat and engulfs in unholy fire

Each circle calls itself to me

The heat comforts and warms my soul

As the souls crying out in pain are in unison

A chorus of chronic pain

And a symphony of suffering

Some of the beautiful things Hell bears

Towers of Babylon modeled out of brimstone and ashes

As men’s tongues fail to recreate the words they once used

Language’s sword now torn from their grasp

As their savage sounds emote from their maws

The stairway down, steep and unforgiving

Leads past the souls of the wicked

Down and down, a deep chasm cries out to me

As I descent from the mortal world

And into the arms of the Devil
