clear as the empty sky
and deeper than the soul of mankind
all
the.
way..
down...
fathoming further than soundwaves
reach their molecular-minuscule hands
into the bluest abyss
below
so far below
but nothing grows
not in holy-bleached waters
baptized in plasma extracted
from our darkest hearts
invisible ink
leaving writing in the sand
walls between
underwater things and we
kings of the continent
shattered like
so much broken glass
ground and tumbled into
beads for our children to
choke on
drowning in empty seas
reaching, never believing
it could happen to us
burning acid dreams
diluted to seem
clear as can be
but we still can't see
the water we drink stinks...
_rotten fish/rotten flesh
polluted streams/polluted seas
waste/wasted_
__death death death
drown drown
down__
going.
going...
g (d) o n e --
_undone by recycled demon-dreams
money for destroying everything
profit on the apocolypse
prophetically pathetic_
(we deserve to drink these sins 'til we drop into the nothing we created)
