tension-wrought progress
enter now, into null
forgotten, freezing, enduring
it's digging in anew
tasting, stealing their hope
it writhes below
renewal, dead static
convocation, a war yet to start
arisen captive, no more sense in life
repent
I'm cornered and it's sinking in
face it, kill it, one way down
keep scattering fog from the sky
when the blood falls with the fog,
lay sickness toward thy enemy
press the seed to his hand
no one knows what we praise
condemned to life
nightmare repeats
it tastes like blood
fear him
ordered and beaten
gagged and thrown into a void
avoid, die trying
ridden with life
repaid

Trembling Flesh

in the cold I call myself
with bloodied twigs, I thresh myself
in going forth to meh-tuh-sela,
then starting for the forest depths
emanating fire bred in dead fields
I'm tripping on the oldest fears
I have found the tree,
that twisted growth
it is here in my eyes
burning, raw
lying dormant
for what's left of you
only the flesh seemed brittle
tear the hole out then take with you
anyone in death
die already
listen no more
underrun
bore through peace of mind
a yearning that this never was
corrupt the soil
breathe salvation
and you swallow your way in
another seed sown
bore through the bone
blood fills the bowl
the host carries the flood
an old torture ends
withered out bodies move in a blind corner
you need not look
they tremble from thy teat,
as the rats do not move from their hole

draw together the arteries with a slender needle
and stitch them together with a golden thread
so that blood cannot fall
I cried out "relent" to you
I can't take anything but loss
old air and bone dust
an unerring pain ever flows
over and over I die vomiting
interred within me
take it back
I can't exist
I'll never forgive
I can't taste anything but loss
