Cave Quake

Beyond Good and evil,
a door slams.
my body shakes in convulsing sickness,
and I retrace my footsteps until i find the place
where I played god.
My mother was a cave
and I was nourished
in her womb;
Birthing out to
fire, and the totality
of my jealous mistress.
Somewhere along the lines
i thought i could save myself.
Instead i become feeble,
and savior reveals itself
as just another word
for adultery.
