Anagorisis

Today's word is "anagorisis" ... an-ag-NAWR-uh-sis ... (In Ancient Greek tragedy) the critical moment of recognition or discovery, especially preceding peripeteia (a sudden turn of events).

Open
The darkness of a cave,
the darkness of the blackest moment,
a burden of spices born,
to the entrance of forever death ...
And then ... Anagorisis as a light,
and a lightening, and an angeled
word straight from God himself,
to turn every last perception
upside down.
