Death

Folder: 
Death

Toss away the cold stance of fear with

Yellow clumps of scattered chamomile.

Neglected cities sour the air

and Terror smiles with indignation.





You will recognise it,

annihilating the past with an

infernal glee and murderous eye.

With a gracious nerve,

You too will revisit yourself,

Your hiding place,

where you will converse with

Shadows that are tall and

Deep words spoken with care.



This generations prophecies

reckon with androgynous nightmares.

The charm of Orpheus

Cannot lay to rest the

Ineradicable fear of knowing death

that burns and sickens.



I know death, consumed with desire

He needs to be loved.

Wipe away the sweet earth

from your tender mouth.

Somebodie's done for.
