A collaboration. Two different worlds collide and break. Myriads of shards fly apart. A broken glass… They say it’s good luck. Matt and I gathered the shards carefully. We didn’t hurry. We enjoyed the process. Our collaboration is like a restored stained-glass window. I must admit that the picture that appeared when we finished was a big surprise for both of us.
I want to put one of Matt’s comments here.
“This one had a profound effect on me, my philosophy and beliefs.”
I don’t know what I can add here. Thank you, Matt! Thank you for your courage, for your honesty. Thank you for your talent.
I’m proud of our collaborations.

Lucifer by Caelicorn
If a world is a house
and people are windows
I am the window which is always dark
Too long I was under your curse
I doted too hard on you
I was doped… near a fatal dose
Upon cold Earth I fell
raptured by the hungry darkness…
as years like days passed
The transparency slowly fled
My glass tempered and stained by rain
scraping my pane like salted tears
I am a black leukoma
on the spotless white face
Inoperable, necrotic cells
I was deplumed to blood by you
I was grilled to ash by you
I was the roasted angel…
But I will know light again
for my descendants are many
on the final stage they have placed me…
Rustle of maracas
and cold black candle-ends
are around me. I take a wax knife
Shamans circle – music peaks
West winds blow relentless
My rite of passage awaits
I fight with bright sunshine
to the last drop of day
I kill it like a mad savage beast
The years are purged now
My ethos born anew
beneath stars of endless night
If a world is a house
and people are windows
I am the window licked clean by hatred
