A Blackness Condenses, Digging into Emptiness - a scar Falling from the mountain. Grasp, grasp for hold with a stiff Hand, like a memory faded Into a second past, frantic search Juxtaposed with the slipperyness of Killed memories' blood, covers anything with Laquer, and if we don't find what we came here for, Madness will take us, pull us down, define us, but with No language, no sound, no form, only that fleeted scent that's Owned by that evil sand-monster of time. We got a taste of Produce discontinued, till maybe or maybe not it will rise Quietly from the ashes like an apparition. But when we try Reeling it in, we get back a hook empty of water, only filled with Space. Something stolen from us by its memory. Skin, flesh and bone, all of them Torn from us under anesthesia, too deep to feel, by now we've woken up and Understand there's something missing and oh if only we could just go back, go back to Valley, nameless and knownless, I just know it's a valley, a smudge between a horn and a Weeping river of frozen rips that pile like great heaps of sand, a desert of disaction. Point X lost as much as we, a part of our soul somewhere between and somewhere in these all, and unknown Y a junction and we go down both our arms that are chopped off at the wrist, there's nowhere else to go but Z, the very end of our journey, where we look at the red blooms of hands, and we move on, with our brief day.
