The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXBjNdvfJk

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl9pXMzeCI

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

They chant

They chant

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBtC4BXRvp

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxFUIslyC

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

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlx6E4D5NP

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Fire and water

Dissipated
