Adherence to a feral will

submission to the law

of dancing stars

Oriental esoterica

within the sorcerer’s chest

voice in the dark

flee the amber

hunt for grail

thirst for its waters

die for

its secrets

Born of Cain’s yolk

To challenge all

Means of escape

No atonement

My plight evades the light

A kidney stone digging

through god’s flaccid urethra

circle of widows

in the trance

of vigil.

The drone of their weeping

I’m thrashing while sleeping

I’ll never know peace

A life of running dry

Clawed feet

march through

The South.
