Soothsayer Worm

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

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

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

WASTING AWAY WITHIN
THIS CARAPACE OF DAYS
NO MORE THE MORTAL DISPLAYS
DISPLACED DESIRE'S BANE
TAINTED SACRED RITES
SORROW HATRED AND SPITE
TORCHES LIKE SPIRITS ENSLAVED
CONDEMNED BY CAVE WALLS
PITILESS NIGHT SURROUNDING
FRAGMENTS OF TEMPORAL SPACE
TENEBROUS VIOLENT AND DEFT
SOMBER, MOROSE UNTIL THE ASCENT
WRITHING FEAR I SHEATH NOW
SILENCE FOR WHAT BENEATH HOWLS
A GRIN OF WISDOM
RESPLENDENT MOUTH
THE FERAL TORPOR ENVELOPES ME
WASTING AWAY WITHIN
THIS CARAPACE OF DAYS
NO MORE THE MORTAL DISPLAY
DISPLACED DESIRE’S BANE
PITILESS NIGHT SURROUNDING
FRAGMENTS OF TEMPORAL SPACE
BY THE STARS
INUNDATED
FROM AN INCHOATE ESSENCE
I CLIMBED THE HIGHEST DAKHMA TO FIND IT
