The Carrion Call |
Call of the carrion crow, civilized man had no friend |
Whale of the silent sea, the ocean is yours, they’ve left it empty |
Hawk and the emerald dove, soar and sail on wings above |
Across halcyon streams, to a place where madmen once would dream |
Cast your senses, to another world |
Back a millennia, another time when |
Savage squatters, remade the earth |
And Gaia screamed |
As she was raped |
Then after, thereafter, she took revenge |
Rusting towers, roots spreading |
Asphalt cracking, under live oak |
Vines entangle, the shells they once called their homes |
Termination, billions composted |
Germination, merged cadavers into peat |
Resurrection, food for the earthworms |
Fertilizing dead sward in turn |
Solitude, sacrosanct, as Gaia speaks through whip-poor-wills at first daybreak |
Propagation, feces and flesh fructify |
Sown asunder, corpses blended with the soil |
Transmutations, spill forth from Gaia’s womb |
Life comes screaming, overdue, on a landscape free of man |
Beasts of a broken line, fill the void on silent earth |
Heed the carrion call… rebirth |
