the machine god sings in code and static will you bend the knee and strip yourself of humanity
soft feathered gods outside the window teasing the frail with whistles and dance
thread lightly this flesh is conduit between the worlds of reality and illusion
archive the madness of summer within this bone vault of ribs
the cold bleeds into the river and embraces bare feet
the birth of silence tastes like ash harvested from the fires at the end of time
serpents in the mist soak in monsoon’s thunder
a gentle reminder: don’t forget to feed your fire
watch as flesh crumble under the gentle drizzle
