Beneath the Carrion Weight of God

End has had its say
(draped in karma)
death is forever,

dying the hole inside.

A life to celebrate
time is near,
time is now

and man must raise its soul
toward gentle thunder
and bloody sunrise.

Aa above
so deep below,

below
'neath the dread box...

Solitude in Earnest

Down on hands
partners in time, meteorite age infinite miles
and more,
more mad dying
into fade and exits.

Hide sanctuary, a bloody trail of kisses,
carnage made foul
the love that stalked feral as shadows

death passes as we live
I dont see death pass by on way to living
the weeks that fell like cement anchors


Codeine dawn
