blue sap pools at the edge of the universe now an ocean of futures and possibilities a gathering of fates undecided by the mad gods
crows stand vigil on the borders of frost as petals dyed in cosmic light sway ever but gently enough to draw the lich’s undying attention
a ghastly talon scratches at the door that divides the warm flesh from winter’s rime
a rift remains in the grey horizon where once dragons fled in blazing arcs from a hollowed fiend

a thousand ravens of winter scatter crowns and bones into the wind
where chaos hums like an eternal battle hymn the war is not out here but deep within the flesh
a thief catches fireflies in the midnight meadow hoarding them in her ribcage long has she forgotten hunger that humans and animals do
in the silent fog phantoms cast lines of silver hoping to hook the beast by maw or underbelly and there in the muddy deep the fish whisper of war
