Exsanguination |
I saw all colour bleached from the sky |
I saw all life drained from the soils at my feet |
I saw a million souls stripped from their fleshy prisons |
I saw my own death staring back at me |
Through the filmy orbs of my own accuser |
I watched myself and this reality emptied |
I saw skin become pallid, diaphanous parchment |
One pitiful drop at a time, vigour drains |
As great wings of finality unfurl |
Throwing aeons into shadow |
Unseen by a legion of bloodless eyes |
Riven by a gradual weakening |
Perceiving naught |
Painless was the bleeding |
And so we felt nothing at our parting |
Life-essence reaved |
Translucent skin bleached |
Emptying veins throb and stutter |
We fade to little more than ghosts |
Cold fingers press against the surface of a sterilised credo |
Eyes glazed, a legion of ciphers bend low |
Thralls enthralled, supine before the Eucharist |
A stained mirror reflecting naught but stagnation |
So willingly did we surrender |
Into this numb grasp of unmaking |
Our footing lost on foundations of vapour |
So willingly did we supplicate |
To a deity etched in the translucent tatters |
Of ignorance’s raiment in hopelessness befouled |
So willingly did we disappear |
So willingly did we disappear |
