Once And Future Child

You blood-thirsty number slaves
Little death upon your face
You the faceless aching cave
You the horn that screams your name

Loud noises falling down
You
Once and future child

You the restless overfed
Choking, choke on the unsaid.
You the celebrated head
Tethered to the future fled.

You the peeling dreams you fired
You the lightning in your eyes
You the seedling's naked eye
You the once and future child.
