Fading

The day fell and the night came; in the dark i stood alone... mind filled with prior thoughts of a red future, gleaming gold, a bleeding earth and crust fold, the cold Kachikau winds recycled into my nostrils the breath of the late me! i saw the end of the world; Like a rose during the dry season the future was fading! the walls we built were trembling down; the rock of my salvation long weathered and her spirit erouded. the Kachikau horizons were levelled; the times you were with me when i was with you were no more a fire burned them to the depths of sheol! i saw the earth fade... we dug a pit and fell into it we made the earth bleed... our lips consumed us! now the end of the world is near, we and all are fading.
