We greet the longest eve after

We have lasted

Through the end

Of all things

The landscape lay maudlin

Desiccated

In graven silence

The blood red sky melted

The wind at my side sewn

For the harvest of the

Soul - I close my eyes

And welcome

Visions of sweet release

In reverie endless

Embraced in sylvan

Darkened woods boundless

The boundless fury

Of a world unborn

Within myself

My soul forlorn

With widened eyes and

Sullen revelations

Wash this all down

All has run its course

Becoming one with

The whited tempest

The jagged rocks and spray

Excoriating me

Pale whitened skin

Inviting to be censured

Blood red flesh

Empty carnal pleasures

God forsaken

The storm obscures our cries

Follow, follow

Surely a slave am I

The boundless fury

Of a world unborn

Within myself

My soul forlorn
