The thin veil of yellow suns
Jet black stars collapsed
Against the teeth of vibrato strings
Clinging in some dark expanse
Where silent grace like embers fell
Slicked black bleeding edge synapse
Relapsing orbits of a midnight moon
Celestial serenity's caress
Gods bare against the fractal source
Constructs left with maker's mark
In images embossed, bereft
Of spirit or resounding breath
Uplifted wings of living beings
Creatures turned again like wheels
Folded spaces, in-betweens
Spun like webs where thunder reels
In storms renowned for breaking oaths
Pacts made in hidden deepened groves
Pin lights peering through the glass
Carving a weave through chaos past
Swollen pools primordial split
To frozen fools and diver's depth
Where worlds we ferried to the sky
From under-halls and seas that sigh
And under hill where Man was made
Spurning sunlight lit the flame
And forged in these unhallowed halls
An ape, a man, an end to all
The holy divers dove no more
Windows of heaven spilling o'er
And from that perch, and from lust
They wiped away all hope and trust
Discordant strings did tempests bring
And entropy to eat the stars
A pattern balanced, now awake
Melodies all caught in throats
And so angelic names withdrew
The elder things ne'er made new
And Earth inherited her name
As Adam spake the Winters came
An age of fire, age of war
Fangs all dressed up to the nines
Descend to make of horrors fools
Serrated strands of angers cooled
A single sun upon that dome
A single song, a curse to sing
Come to rest against the mountaintop
Forgetting what it was to be
EZEKIEL
