7390 The Guardian
[by S. David] [art by Kris Kuksi]

2nd inspiration is
Milton, PL II 666-770

Before the nine
Gates they sat
Governing both
To and fro
Entrance
And exit
Sin
Satan’s daughter
Once so lovely
That Satan
Lucifer himself
In Heaven
Could not resist
And this his son
Grandson as well
Raping his own
Daughter to bring
Forth unknowing
Death
The end of all
Mortal flesh
Death
The son who
Immediately
Turned and in turn
Raped his mother
And she carried
This time
Demons and imps
And others of
That sort who
Tore at her womb
Until born
Sons half brothers
To Death
Such were the two
Each a guardian
Of the gates
