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
