liberated pilgrims leave the voidspace blessed with demonic deformities and bloodlust
a language of fungus and howl escapes the dead god’s maw
your shadow crawls where you refuse to go
last words collected and woven into shawls the witch in a grim garden of ears
deep rift a creature of terror nests in the bones of usurpers
dark before dawn i stepped inside a prayer of roots
salt winds returned with your voice
the machine prayed and the chrome gods answered with rust
drank deep from the soma and now my insides glow
