Fleshmaker |
| A mirthsome gold; |
| these lives you hold you’ll hide away |
| The lidless casket, the guilded lining |
| Shines in the old light, gleams in the muted bay |
| These lines have been etched in bone, carved and faded, stretched as taut as |
| stone. |
| Draped across the moonlit base, a mirrorbed reflects the faces bright in |
| the moment |
| Wide and awake with fright |
| Seared by the scorchlight, lives are worth we’ll trade |
| We couldn’t cower too quickly. |
| We couldn’t bear to brave the gaze of the end |
| And when the creep of flames engulf the all, you’ll swallow them whole |
| You’ll intake this bile, and you’ll reap what I’ve soiled, what you’ve sown |
| So have the stilted grown |
| Bury me in all the filth and shame, and all the moments filled with them |
| It’s all the same. |
| I’ll give it away |
| I’ll taint my flesh and you’ve naught but hell to taste |
| Tear it away. |
| The rot is palpable. |
| The waft escapes |
| The bread we broke sustaining you. |
| The blood, you choked, the draining flu |
| No sign that anyone knew. |
| Gods you hunger, so tear us wide and eat your fill |
| You look so tired. |
| I couldn’t save for you some raw meat |
| Your limbs are wires, but all I have for you is thawed |
| You’ll get your means. |
| You’ve earned these seeds |
| Now when you salivate you’ll bleed |
| Drawn to the stench of plebes who dulled their sheen to match a hope we |
| couldn’t feel |
| This is all we are: a listless gold, the lifeless old, frail in the moment |
| Scared as the eyes reveal their sheen. |
| Be careful what you hold |
| The flesh has turned, your wretch was earned |
| Bright in the moment, wide and awake with fright |
| Seared by the scorchlight, our lives are worth we trade |
