An Entrance

We were still standing by Cerberus

and those heavy stone doors

just ajar with beguiling light

slipping through the crack.

Hades touched one of the doors

with his large, pale hand

and it glowed red

where he touched it.

Slowly the spill of light

filled the caves and

I was gazing into

blinding brightness

so sharp I had to cover my eyes.

But I felt Styx’s hand gently tug

on mine, and my feet moved

forward into the white abyss.
