Fold into land Crawl back to oceans In crystal vaults and gold prisons Pots of mud; vestigial tongues Take these my witnesses Burn the votives  Each lunar cycle's crest My lord is taken by seizures And plucks his people's limbs Without visible pretense  With lecherous relish  The mangroves drowned The crane's beak trembled in my teeth I drew the ire of the Father Star And ribald jubilation of worms The solid ground Became dust beneath my feet  And I gazed into a visage  Made to resemble fear Swallowed by dreams I couldn't speak I couldn't eat Amid foul murmurs demanding blood rivers Fold into land Crawl back to oceans My king of late has not listened Warnings fall upon earfuls of dung The servants writhe with pestilence Who will save them?

Vessel 09:42
Sunken calls to you Holy demons with drugs Withdraw souls I stowed my heart inside of a shell Fetal before A storm between my ears What once held me up Are daggers now I stoked my hearth beside a great veil Oh, I’ve seen God I need...I seek...I beg for without Deafening scrawl a timbre above pain My limbs scrape What I am without foot and hand Is a violent pile A vile pyre Lusting for revenge Contemning atonement Crawling damned, tapered limbs Sharpness through skin on stone Walking damned with tapered limbs Darkness is no more alone Stalking damned, tapered limbs As if the light had never shone

BEGOTTEN GRIMOIRE Wandering the blankening mutter wake I feel nondescript Trudging aimless Something...some howl Escaping now Scorning, real I seethe, shackled down Fornicate with demons in this way Until we part You and I Flux extant Does the latent Wartorn-Brigadoon give to the world “Us”? Raise, my dagger’s Weight passes through all temporal barriers The unspeakable fields Immeasurable planes Inexorable love A void granting total embrace Crushed beneath a primal wave Reaching with a vivid red To grant my descendants Greater mysteries Until we part You and I
