Outstretched eternally Crimson and gnarled Teeming with parasites Full of life Beckoning Arms like manzanita Throat worn to driftwood As hymns float through Hollow and plain to see

Manzanita
I will build for you, a path of coal and ash and stone Cold upon flesh, expended, marring, broken, and ****** Stumbling blind, dead end in sight Promises hollow as bone, Fingertips tear at the throat, Choking on nothing, veins swell and burst Blocking the light, denying the hope, Abide the noose and it's hunger, Define, the feeling of fear, Reminded of the grasp of sweet slumber

Broken and ******
lying withered veins long dry the flame that once brought comfort signals doom quivering with ache falling away dead petals upon the breeze drifting downward no more than tinder moth to flame to ash beauty and it's decay a vacuum of breath and so it goes as it has and shall unending and flawless vicious and kind all that has been shall be undone that which is destroyed is not lost

Long Dead Petals
Pile stone after stone upon my chest I deserve not the breath that i draw Brittle bones house a pulse ever softer As they splinter, caress With the grace of the moon descending And force of the guillotine's blade May the echoes of my death rattle fall upon deaf ears And be swallowed by the lapping waves May my bones please the hounds May my flesh feed the ground May my heart cease its ache May the sun rise again Oh sweet sleep Still and unending A calm descends upon the embers of being The coals cratering my eternal home As deep as need be to bury these shameful bones
