amidst the storm

entering doom otorten

the path into calamity ("don't go there")

pestilential infection

creeps through their veins

to decompose their minds

persistent surveillance

struggling mannequins

approaching the euphoric

victims of its will

resisting bones

self-relinquished

inner putrefaction

ineluctable battue of abulic cattle

blind elation

paradise of chasms

memories as fading remnants

unyielding pressure

the lurker is tearing their souls to nourish

one-way to possession

for eighteen pale eyes

MARASMUS

breathing spores of decay

drinking from the river of after

inhaling phobia, exhaling life

soul evaporation, for the one to devour

bitten by frost but unable to sense

carried by ecstatic ease

their human frailty to forgot

phrenesis' soaking their flesh

urge, ekstasis, fatigue

weighing in the sedative womb

yet plunging near the abysm

revealing birth

setting the seal on death
