Rust on the throat bone Unsheathes the summoning cry For this ill omen When the moon is so close and the light so sick It is as if the earth is trying to whisper to it in hospice A faucet leaking off the knuckles of a weakling A testament to that inherit the meek thing Echoes in the dark throughout the hillside Attentive beasts break to stand on hind legs Inverted towers all shake the owners from the windows The emperor bows to the beggar Death barks and begs Close as the world will ever get to Luna Seas crash to show sadness with the petulant expulsion of grief Oceans roar and storms wash away centuries to great forebearer's relief All salt in the water will wash away Take time for the eroding spirit tied to the beach today While these elements wear the skin out and down with each appearance Driving the illusory blind meat believer mad Take solace in the slaughterhouse line Animals all meant for one barrel of trimmings Set to make the same compost when the razor beneath starts to grind Let the tier drops splash the surface above And all those on the precipice of the Luna seas be crushed by their sadness Take with you a balled up fist inside the chest and air of bitterness and go forth into an indifferent space Let us put an end to this.
