He Is Here

pyramids
point nemo
the afterlife
a tyrant
silent and bare
mariana trench
gas-giant
everest
a diving bell without air
hanging gardens o babylon
Tainted flowers I wear

light’s out
he’s here
somewhere
I have seen him before
I have seen him before
reach out
turmoil
icon
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

black waters gather and take me back
Rubicon rotting away
crossing the line to the underworld
flee from the waters the say

light’s out
he’s here
somewhere
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

reach out
turmoil
icon
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

light’s on
in line
this time
I have seen him before
I have seen him before

again
in death
I am
I have seen him
I have seen him

into the recondite oceans unnamed
untamed
burning beds
Never rests
phosphorus anonymous
Chose to live
It’s a gift
vertigo
falling slow
waters ends
paying debt
hold my hand
waters end

black vast seas seeping to the ground
wounds of creations never-ending flow
reaching backwards underwater love
waters follow wherever he goes

from Adam’s ribs
he’s calling you
words you won’t understand

tumbling down
take away your shine
and selling arms to all sides
