lucifer speaks in his own voice

sure as i am

of the seraphim

folding wing

so am i certain of a

graceful bed

and a soft caress

along my long belly

at endtime     it was

to be

i who was called son

if only of the morning

saw that some must

walk or all will crawl

so slithered into earth

and seized the serpent in

the animals     i became

the lord of snake for

adam and for eve

i     the only lucifer

light-bringer

created out of fire

illuminate i could

and so

illuminate i did
