We clamor for more
Crying out, not enough
Pointing fingers
All the while
Consuming more and more
Like fattened pigs
Complaining about the heat

i took a goblin coin
turned it in the round
voices of a death mount
pearl is her alabaster crown
soirée is writ
lo in thimbles
a tide that cries red
paired down
my signal

I took a coin to a holy see
dropped it in
What will be will be
I’m on a side now
Gold and green
But also a shadow
Sylvan unseen

Night is forever

There in the wilderness
The one built inside
The one of shattered dreams
And cobbled together fantasies
I found you
A secret star
A compass
A reason to not burn the world down
Forever

Time is a burning stone
a jeweled fire caught in bone

yet it means nothing
compared to Her

secrets bound in tears
a song known before all others

darkened by truths with teeth
and poisoned arrows

I can feel Her still
across the table

in an ocean of silence
lies buried between us
