A cold monolithic grace

shadows stretched
from unblinking stone
a sun dares trespass
it's obsidian skin cold

wind whispers unknowns
of forgotten wars
iron tears flown

upon obsidian flank, rust
earth exhales silence, ancient 
shrouds frozen breath, dust

within its hollow soul
pushing the rank crust
pulse, violet dark

strange geometries bloom

in the frost upon a base, lost 
flock of silent wraiths, gather 
circles unknown speak, daggers
 
ravens scream, unseen
taste of ash n bone
bitter stone

in the air somewhere lingers
broken metronome, marching
sounds all shone

nowhere home, north 
a ragged crone, standing
cold monolithic, grace

waiting, watching all alone
