way

breathe

endless river

connect
to crows

see them
still

in sickness's song

come
covered in crows

eye

eye

regard

face
living

souls
swim

out there
in here

beaten
by birds
dreaming

dead
dreams
dead

dreams
of dawn

dawn
cannot come

write words
with wolf

remember
breathing remember

heirs
in hell

scratching score
on skin
bleeding into
beak

before you
believe

sounds
so shrill
now you

know night's
knot

come
breathe

breathing
bird

bathe bird
in blood

ancient
arcade

opens
now

this moment
passing

quickly so

bird's
song

blessed
bones of bird

bones
of

you turning

into time

time entering time

after night

vanish

set
shadow free

what
of wing’s
wheels

wonder
so tired
of waiting

to
go

with remains

birds
bring
with beak

breaking

we are
breaking
apart

apparition
assembling

it all

back
again

constructing
song from string

believe

in birds
drifting
down

descent
dead divined

océan’s
offering

banquet
beasts
burn

for silhouettes

for song

under tiger’s breath
condemned choir
comes

comes
to
chant

mute

breath
in black

seas

horse
hears

fall
for her

in deep
