since the womb; I’ve felt thrice-torn

a trinity of godhood in what's been born

three of nature’s beasts bound into one

the snake, the goat, and the lion

chimera

within

as time goes on such I become

I am three and three am I

my six eyes see the future, past, and present

and how can I deny

the three faces of stealth, speed, and courage

the gaping maws of piercing, gnawing, and

the tearing

now freed from mortal shackles

beast ascension from human-form

claws release their grip on the soil

wings expand across the sky

my teeth of venom

my eyes’ rectangular pupils

my glorious mane

my godly presence
