lightning struck twice the soil burns and black roots curl in defiance
oceans trapped in a dewdrop and just a whistle away a desert doused in golden fires
an almanac of every raindrop that split a microcosm in two
i wore a cloak stitched of antimatter and traces of void in memory of a brittle little planet
equations of flesh and flame stardust spiral into bones
third eye visions severed from the thread of fate’s loom
heart of ash a silent symphony pulses in the void
smelling war in the wind wolves fall to heir knees
the serpent has forgotten its name but remembers every war and plague mongered
