The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxopKZ6JIT

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0JS5r2k0K

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

They chant

They chant

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrX31BU3A

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqwM15NnMl

Here lies the horse that couldn’t run

Here lies the stiffened heart that doesn’t beat

Here lies the rock

too smooth to kill

300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal8UuF8kRZ

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Fire and water

Dissipated
