twilight the chaos spire leans on the afterthought of wails
scream into the darkness to fracture the council of light
ever wondered what fuels the void perhaps it is too deep and dark to comprehend
cave paintings dance in the netherlight when unobserved
firebirds glide like rumour through smoke bringing omens from the old gods to the eyes of men
fishermen leave offerings to the tide: a glass full of whales
lightning hums raw in the gullet of the ancient beast
pilgrims kneel and drink in the memory of the dragon’s destruction
through fangs through wounds a lullaby of what you lost
