A heavy weight unlocks the cataclysm,
The Red Death clinging to every
Fiber of the brain; the vanquished mariner,
The drowning of the stars; cascading
Dreams that cleave into the night,
Vacant eyes that once were men,
Evanescing were the lovelorn, wraiths
Unmoored upon the main; the burning
Angel, the whimpering orphan waif,
Ghastly was the cannibal, a fading
Cross at every door; crushed beneath
The iron monolith, unwept the harlot’s
Hearse, the asters all were withered,
The anguish of windswept rains;
A hell that birthed the brook of fiends,
A haze that groaned the song
Primordial, a soul who freed the earthly
Dove, whose spirit walks beside me.
