Face inverted Purged of warmth Cold intentions behind the smile The sharp points of these eyes Have gathered all the stray debris out of orbit Into one stern, suspending stare We’re standing in the garden With just the wilted grass between us I point my finger at your visage Then direct your gaze towards the well The small pool of water Spans a galaxy’s length As your eyes slowly widen You retreat back into your cobwebbed corner I remain outdoors conjuring your trance With your back turned You’re an object in red shift Standing frozen, yet drifting Back into your sunless interior At light speed You’re enchanted, under my control Just as much as I’m under yours Together we’ll leave These shadowy, claustrophobic rooms Soon my misty breath And your pale gown Will be shimmering throughout the trees and hills Under starlight
2.
The terrain curves slightly The path leads off to the side Two trees rise above the rest Having shed their leaves Moss and dampness cover the fence Enclosing the lingering black aura The coldest ice of the universe Was deposited here The shallow earthly soil Conceals rocks from deep space This ancient force summons the window That dimly appears out of thin air And thus we’re imprisoned In hypnotic paralysis Step towards the warped fence See the shallow pools Rank and brackish in the physical world Crystal clear in the spiritual beyond The ripples draw towards them Light from distant galaxies and moonbeams Apparitions stir within Our stillness allows their movement We stand here Waiting to be consumed By the stronger spirits The sun hides itself Leaving our decayed nature Hidden in the dark And rises again Only after we’ve removed ourselves Behold, the solar halo Its splendor yearned for by the human heart But we are encased In this den Where not a fraction gets through
3.
Our ride on the celestial railroad is finished At the junction We step out of the thin air window To a charred abandoned ghost town A stellar wind sheds frost over the hearthstone The shadows flicker Perplexed spirits in vague form Tease our ruined psyches We are unwelcome The pounding hooves of old have been stalled Amidst this thing they call progress All boundaries, forms, and pretensions blend together They are all tied to the spokes of the wheel On these burial mounds we can still see Their disembodied remnants Smoking nostrils, flaming eyes And riders with iron helmets We are manifested in this age But our hearts are long buried With these ghost riders On dead horse mountain Here we are, stirring dying embers In this familiar ghastly room But in our minds We are on the mountain at midnight Meteors streak across the sky Across the field, past the graves Torches slowly move At the edge of the woods Let us savor the last of our strength As perdition’s grip closes in
4.
Dawn comes We’re still out here On the mountain Losing sense of time Mesmerized by the deep, red glow Of the sunrise Basking in our indifference Blissfully ignorant to any threats From without or within The seasons blend together The snow image just dances on and on… And again the cycle begins In the blink of an eye Spring turns to winter The deformed wolf Is standing off to the side Not completely present Not of this dimension Yet it could still put an end to us And so I ignore it Turn away from the misshapen face And hungry fangs All rationality melts In the magnetism Of your oceanic eyes The icy petals on your garland Become heated and liquefied I turn back around The wolf is now on the trail Its hot breath fuming Within a light-second You’ve grown old I bury you in the snow This forest, with its ravines and caves Is like a nebula In its expanse And scope of isolation Our snow image no longer dances It has melted Into the soil of Seven Hollows
5.
Slumbering On this solitary throne The clock is ticking on the wall The bird pops out The jarring chimes ring their alarm I awake, bereft of pride and pomp You’re decomposing Out there in the snow where I left you The icy wind howls The sky turns dark and green The trees sway in anticipation Of the wedge tornado crossing I-40 Towering above the clouds I pluck the tornado off the ground And split the atom Push the last two molecules To the edge of the visible universe The temperature drops Colder than the lunar crevices Gravity ceases to exist The wolf inside is howling Tearing the sun apart with its unchained jaws Eyes blaring Foaming at the mouth Snapping through the bars of the cage At the ignorant laughing faces Bring forth your domesticated Southland dogs So I can feel the blood of their necks Bubbling and warm on my teeth Dead heaps of flesh all around me I slay both animal and human The planets keep hurtling away At astronomical speeds As the universe expands The light of the stars declines I howl at the moon During its final orbit In remembrance of you Close my eyes and chant Clinging to the last spark of magnetism The trance begins The tornado carries me back home To our sunless interior
