Challenge of the Week CCVI
You've found yourself standing at the gates of Hell, and you're given a typewriter and one page waiting in it. You have one short poem to either keep you out, or shove you in.

eliciting terror yet
embracing it like a ravenous lover
melting into the familiar comfortable arms
plunging deeper into the depths and
finding my home in the burning embers
and smoldering coals
rising
a phoenix
