IV (Interment) |
I descend |
I descend again |
I closed my eyes and still these vistas rend |
The waning sun… it’s light so thin |
Sickly, these pale shafts press |
At a gruesome fog, an entangling torpor |
Stripping the fenland air of pellucidity |
Writhing chains of spiritual desolation reach |
And beckons a shattered soul back into darkness |
As the soils part in welcome |
A riven aperture to embrace a sundered spirit |
Closing like a withered fist |
Around a frond of pale tissue |
Weak — so very weak |
Cold — frozen to the marrow |
Encased by the frost of loathing |
I have nothing left to give |
Even my flesh presents naught |
A cross-stitched tapestry of past failings |
Pallid vessel of spiritual exsanguination |
Home to the dread-stare of these listless eyes |
Each sordid limb a tendril of pain |
A beacon of suffering, a spite of torment |
Aflame with gangrenous agony |
This hemisphere of decrepitude demands extinction |
Extinguish me |
Yearning for ending |
I beg for the embrace of the fens |
A final resting place — marked only by a henge of dead trees |
The cathedral stands, omniscient |
A memorial to all those who walked within these shadows |
Unmoved by the toil of the lost |
Who sink without markings into the fathomless murk |
