the wood bends and forms a ribcage guarding an infant fire
night replaced by a black flower blooms swallowing the stars
the rain falls not as liquid but as ashes filling mouths with grey venom
a hollow eye staring at an empty field where ghosts wander in circles
feeding static to the universe charging the silence with screams
the rain rewrites the streets before the flesh walks this earth
logic decayed and neon spores spread through the air
starfall and the holes burnt into the frail pale flesh
prayers to a forgotten constellation a robed hologram on its knees
