...And the World Is as Night to Them

rise
in forgotten form
see a burning world a price for sacred lust

build
trust in unseen source
wilt away dried and cracked our useless skin

fall
the pedals shed of uselessness separate from untasted fruit

lay
lay to rot
in our dying world a burning chariot


coiled & frozen inside
sink in depths unwind
gifts of suffering transform
enter in stillness reborn

gifts of suffering transform
enter stillness reborn
in a burning world
