(I. the latch)
Beyond nimbus menagerie Above any should feel relief Without a doubt we go around it So many times the chasm laughs
A current so strong the salt remains Behind the curtain below the stage Pulling the latch fall through the center A swiftly dropped forgotten name
Plummet
Tumbling deeper Falling into it
Far from the center
Here, Now
Speak with the people you keep around The feelings since have been mutual at best To meet the lowest point , A void for
the ritual replace our debts
Zenith
Where is it off to? Oh Descend Vacancy rendered
Falling falling falling down
(II. at baseline?)
It just woke up
Stared at an open door
As a month passed
And another
And another
And another
And another
And another
A laughably laborious lament met with a horde of deaf ears all too willing to be nothing above the surface
Sparkling speckled speculation spat out spreads like a virus onto the heated earth
Many have been here before but they’re gone now
The open door beckons at the end of the possessed hallway
An energy too sinister to define and yet it aligns with a cursed bloodline
Is it at baseline???!?!?!???
The spine quakes forward, ripping the body upwards in a desperate grasp for something above the gray brine
Is it at baseline????!?!?!?
Thousands thrashing, claws clashing
Is it at baseline????!?!?!?!
(III. dusted in silver)
a sin old as time itself Burrowed in a cherry hill
To put the cart before it’s horse
we did not miss it, Grimaced Pilgrim Though it was tough until then
Quiet
Dusted in silver Where is it off to? When will it return?
Here Now Here Now
