A Gift

Rose petals blanket the ground

Sterling silver lullaby

My ears bleed

I taste of metallic melancholy

Candlewax rivers flow

Hot through my swollen veins

My throat feels like razorblades

They carved my name

In the stone

This is my permanent home

Everything goes cold,

My body is stricken stiff

Earth fills my lungs

I choke, then give up

All is bliss

My ancestral hierarchy reigns over me

I sleep all of eternity

All is now bliss
