Lilacs are gone to the dead sky
an ice cap covers my dull skull
the clouds crack with fecal angelic glory
trash pours down my spine
to turn to soil
over a sunlit slab
in a cashed out quarry
a minnow screams.

Tadpoles cling to the scum of life
fire crawls in the depths
bones dance where a channel opens
and the mossy stage continues
for a drama that's been foretold
in the thorns of dreams
that sting this astral flesh
the spirit that cannot escape
rages and rages.
