Cherry Red Glow, Watch With No Chain
CHERRY RED GLOW, WATCH WITH NO CHAIN
The beast, thus charred, bleeds red, from pit, alarmed.
He checks the time, and time again.
He set it once, a long… long time ago.
All fettered to eternity – disarmed.
He satiates his appetite with coal.
Chews up each act of cherry red.
Each piece a face, endless disgrace.
The burning embers burn, so slow…his soul.
