Nightfall

Here it is again, the nightfall, To stay for its allotted years The entrails heeded the call Attuned to their primal fears In the alleys, in the pavements A dark lie is a shining honesty Old axioms the devil laments Tears to prepare his destiny. Where to after the nightfall, This darkness has a contract? The bells of hell now loudly toll The funeral song of your fact Monstrosity to take back the spoils A face reddens not in shame Rape in new ways the gut that boils Coming back in rebranded fame Offering hope by perfumed name Sins disowned, loots to reclaim. Here it is again, the nightfall, The hearts that refused must endure To wait till the morning call, It will be long, tiring, but it is sure. Bestrevolver, May 18,2022
