first light crows gather to mock greedy pigeons
end of a season shadows circle pillar of fire
left to age in a vat the substance of oblivion
flesh vortex we need only us they them it
flesh vortex the body becomes nameless
flesh vortex stripping labels from bodies
cold winds at dawn whisper the phantom’s name
head full of questions the starling too in doubt
dreamless sleep where have the voices gone to
