Web of Bones

predacious life web of bones as the autumn shade is to the blossom beset in the pretense of summer the universe will infallibly eclipse the deeper reason of men in the face of inequity …predacious life It eats the road ahead where the fork warps between two moons a death dream east and west the same a prayer for storm sure as shadow a thunder uninvited touches the grave before dawn I feel it looming in the billows draining into light it is a strange hand that has been dealt …this night life is the face of fury a blistered mind a kerf in the subconscious void a word without shape trembling into deep departure coal and bone black …the face of fury braided into sun and stars too numerous infinite auras bent into the shape of beasts greatbear and wolf waking the universe into fire deep heresy arise …the face of fury yours, mine twist into each other into the narrow cold blue night absolve into memory …the face of fury It was never like this the dust the beating blackness strewn into the providence of brittle twilight souls in calculus flux construed by the derivation of time smote and swag thunder hitting again as we ride through the thin winter sun void in pale limbo …it was never like this driven into the glaze starving each blood worn mingle and split in the cold and shudder through the stillness and tangled wounding world wasp mind swarm into black where the stillness sets therein …lift us into soundless sky from ourselves to breathe the silence together vis inertiae no wind matter resisted strewn through the emptiness the color of blood our souls afire …above us

Wow, Mat, this is engulfing me...all the meanings, blood as black...true. You write with such raw power. "Souls afire, above us..."
