the view from titan’s crown: blood pools in the valley of the dead
rung after rung the pilgrim climbs the ribs of a decomposing god
flesh yearns for the gentle touch that splits sky and soothes bark
prayer burns behind eyes and turns air to glass mosaics
spring in the absence of light warm seas writhe in anger
you breathe in the last line and wonder if we can skip summer and go straight to autumn
emerald fires learn to rustle dangerously like the leaves of ancient jungles
the thunder long gone maelstrom moths whisper weather into innocent clouds
only the bravest confront the absurdity of existence and cosmic truth in golden ratios
