The Corpse of a Diamond

here Devils all cry, it was not unlike staring at a king’s fire foaming, desperate tricks, mad fevers, not a soul felt

 

whether a day’s trend signifies hell, plenty of features cover the swan’s wings, but pitchforks are of smooth Vanadium

 

 

destined to serve, it will then serve destiny, earn conception inconsequential slave, free to extinguish, free to ignite

 

every possible leaf, breath, or stone, it factors a wasteful excessive task, issues its core in a desperate effort to nestle

 

 

dimming in the cave hall, a no account angel leaves by torch flicker, twitching ears, tracking blood, there is a fuel

 

which is harsh black anxiety high-strung coal made trans-lucid, and will burn and leave no trace once it mates

 

 

alert in the darkest moment, it was simple ancient criteria, easy renewal, meaning’s burden, your decorated time

 

ceases to struggle for attention, smoke implies the flame, but you cannot burn and at the same time remain

 

 

hark, how man’s assignments ring

 

glory to one thing among things

 

pieces of worth in the merciless wild

 

god and cinders reconciled
