Rot

In eyelids
Slow close
Upon the fly

As tongues
To split
Apart the sky

In lungs
Collapse-
Reaching for 
Celestial being

Upon lips 
Never kissed
Forever to live
In dream

A fait accompli
Allfather
Of rot
Bend the knee
To the only living God
An' do the bidding 
Of entropy

With tears
To thicken rain
An' wither down stone

In winds
To softly whisper
The bidding of bone

A ghost
To adorn
The pale skin
Of, an eternal beauty

A fait accompli
Allfather
Of rot
Bend the knee
To the only living God
An' do the bidding 
Of entropy
