spiderweb cracks
of bare black branch
against slab of slate gray sky
blue sun glow
blurry and lost
shrouds the world with ice
bite of cold
winter wind cuts
through flesh naked and scarred
bone white flecks
of fractals fall
to dust the red and raw
crystal'd waters
with gentlest touch
melt into seeping wounds
frost fingers roam
through veins gone cold
seeking the vaults of doom
old heart in hand
black carbon char
powdered ash blown high and free
corpse crow caw
shattering shriek
endless echoes mocking me
night at noon
and no one saw
there's nothing left to be
