Graves of the Fathers |
| Sextons of the churchyard |
| Have seen unblessed things; |
| Ground no longer hallowed |
| Has sprouted new graves |
| Descendants of clan |
| That unsurped maternity |
| Hear whispers in their blood; |
| This summons of the Fathers |
| Adherence to the principle |
| Of «man by woman born»… |
| Anachronistic ritual |
| Soon to be obsolete |
| «Forgive me Father |
| For I know not what I do; |
| My grave beckons |
| As irresistable as drawing breath.» |
| Nature abhors a vacuum |
| The same is true to a tomb… |
| It cannot be empty |
| A barren womb of plenty… |
| A vacant grave must be filled |
| For this the Fathers' will |
| Material birth be abjure |
| A mother’s cunt is unpure |
| Sired in blasphemy |
| In nocturnal obeisance to rotted hearts |
| Filled with necrolatry |
| Reverse the life cycle be reborn through Death |
| «Forgive me Father |
| For I know not what I do; |
| I leave a void to fill one |
| Hear my prayers from far below.» |
