when you truly begin to understand that the quiet is part of the chaos
bodies dissolve into soft pink mists battleships torn asunder
here lies a universe untamed a galaxy undone by its own children
i am already unmade a ghost singing in a tongue no ears will hear
i kneel before you bare and allow your fangs to annihilate my very being
in the chasm of frequencies a rogue ships listens to the whispers of the cosmos
the autumn moon calls me kin and every step forward breaks the bones of creation
each severed neck births a new verse a raucous melody
a king’s crown melts and sprouts into a garden of blades
