Inside this hollow house

How can I keep myself together?

Disembowelled

Only sin in my tides

Sun in my liver

Salt in ancient soil

Once I was petrichor and embers

Cast off spark of night, fading, now

But a wet match against the dark

I carve my curses

Into your oaken walls

Exhaling night to shred the green

To ashes, shred the green to dust

Sage the memory of ceremonial

Darkness, give me back

My shadow heart

Purify my reflection

Within the melting ice

Hollow out the light

From this catacomb of awe

Have we fallen

Too far from heaven now?

Then let us speak of dead things

In the old language of cries

Sleep is brief these days

Like the breath of melting suns

Stay with me to watch the waning world

From the shelter of a cave

For fire is nigh

Nothing keeps me comfort

Nothing but the memories of sin

For seven days I never closed

My third eye, as I pierced

My horns into the moon

The great abandoner

Rip at m edges

Burst the brim of ice

Something within this bottomless well

Is wriggling, awakening

Unholy, unholy me
