oncoming flames
obey
omens
matter manufactures
roar
cry
come to cage
whisper
with condemned
man
is a chasm
crashing against another
beginning & end
down to earth
down
to centre of earth
blind
& bound
register tears
start
another arrangement
ends
of world
pull close
too close
colliding in shadow
flee towards east
flee towards south
flee towards north
west wretched
wind
blowing blast
beautiful & brutal
dark chilling rains
begin to fall
birds of prey
gather suns
gaze
when wounded
winds coming close
share
with shadows
hold tightly cord
wherever beyond
chart waters
caught in current
clear
go further
hell
specific geography
walk
down
valley below
below
beloved
remember glance
weep waves
turn
to count
go
down so slow
night
into night
face
pressed into granite
tears trace
so serpent sings
storm
of fire
tongue hanging out
wandering in black
rain
heading north crying
for help
howl
name
near coast
collect fishermen's bones
funeral pyre
beloved
sing another song
wolves quiet
quivering in corner
guests ghouls
inhale ice
judgement day
done deal
l
burning
bodies to cinder
still standing
up
or down
twigs in teeth
scraps of skin
scraps of skin
beloved
time
entering time
ride
night now
into village
near coast
two towns
bear name
forget route
time gone
veins still
howl until hoarse
make out word
sheets of skin
fall
to bottom
of sea
breath by breath
hear sound solemn
close mouth
of ghosts
go
down
another circle
in great fall
of flesh
remember burning bed
torn pages
burning
blue flame
bridge of dead
burned black
skins bursting
bodies
of broken glass
corpses
carried by current
to sea
river
not flowing water
stream of drifting
burned bodies
night knew
man melts
hold lamp
go on
touch
soil or sea
everything evaporates
come with chalice
run
with horsemen
come
overwhelmed by omens
grasp reeds
closer to circle
empty pages written
by absence
remember eating glass
mouth
full of rope
climb time
with tongue
clay
charnel house
drifting dead
choke crevasses
:
corpses crushed
at feet
drift
particular
dance
eden empty
circle within circle
age into age
Ice
corpses crushed
at feet
drift
come this way
again
again
lost
chart chafes
such skin
as possessed
in pyre
