Two worlds colliding and self-destructing

The sides of a mirror confessing their secret convictions

Veins and pills, blue skies, fountains of poison and seduction

Twins of a parasite, gradually devouring one another

A pair of wings that burn

For once I was not

For once I was between

Complacent but dejected

I mother the wounded creature

I mothered the universe that I might be forgiven

Beneath this earth

Beneath this stone

I plunge my fist into the rock

And then, overwhelming silence

And then, overwhelming nothingness

(unspoken)

"Finite and continual, ascension and simultaneous destruction

Faithless light, it also suffers inside of me

Constantly seeing through the horizon to the nothingness here and thereafter

And gazing toward the eternal constellations of sublime distance and asphixia

The afflicted becomes the valet of suicide

I have bled the stars and their swansong was my ordainment over angels and surpassing gates of mortal lamentations, the precedent for a cosmic shift beyond all that I have seen and felt inside my flesh

My last covenant is forever broken

Release me..."
