Ichneumanity

Thud, the fading heartbeat of a dying whale<br/> A sound that chases sleep forever<br/> Deep into the stomach of the waves<br/> That cradle a titan in its rest<br/> A calming veil that guides it from the flesh of existence<br/> <br/> Fathoms of night<br/> Sweeping into closing eyelids<br/> A final rush of blood runs through abandoned veins<br/> In silence<br/> <br/> Atomic tectonics<br/> A final repose<br/> Carbonic reclamation<br/> Devoured, digested and reconstituted<br/> Jawless necks which resurrect the future<br/> <br/> When something colossal dies<br/> The presence it leaves behind<br/> Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths<br/> Of the world it lived inside<br/> <br/> The worms that find their purpose in the bones of the dead<br/> Who build skeletal cities, continuing the thread<br/> Atomic ghosts, that shimmer in the dark<br/> The echo of existence as the fragments drift apart<br/> Forever<br/> <br/> Atomic tectonics<br/> A final repose<br/> Carbonic reformation, respiration slows<br/> Reborn in leeches<br/> A continuum<br/> A root that springs in tangled strings of equilibrium<br/> <br/> When something colossal dies<br/> The presence it leaves behind<br/> Resounds in the echoes of the dust of the depths<br/> Of the world it lived inside<br/> <br/> Our movements when in life, merge with wider tides<br/> In death we live within those things<br/> In whom our bones reside<br/> In life

Beating your chest because you beat the rest, those who oppose are zero. Nothing enshrined behind the eyes, feeding the ravenous ego. When the curtains fall and we exit the stalls, what will become of the hero? Does vanity endure, hiding the flaws in the dominion of Nero? Vultures only love you when you're dead, they'll cut out your heart and mount your head. Genetic religion, the gaping void of the human condition. Kneel with the weak at the throne of fiction, fucking kneel… Thoughtopsy. Watching your back for the phantom attack, behind all the smiles lie the fangs of the pack, you don't own your position, demise is imminent, reach out a hand they tear it off at the ligament. At the end of the day when it's all stripped away and you sit on the throne of your empire, all you survey, a vision in grey, a cackling vaudeville satire. Starvation of the mind, monoxide of the heart, coma of the soul, no way out.

Arterial rivers carving a mountain of flesh, the peak, a jar of hollowing winds and the underview effect. What vantage does vision afford us if sky is a cavern of depth, and desert surrounds, seized by a drowning gush of shrieking insects? Wretch, writhe, the amniotic tear bore a vision of flies. Wretch, writhe, in ever shortening circles life survives, tightening spirals of order, life survives. A swarm of cells, fractal splinters gouged from a mass of adjacent shells, order, harmonic lunacy surfaces out from the swell of life, rebuilding reforming, life, procession to the final dark. The truth is hell is real and it's frozen, still and private; a neutral abscess leaking from the space behind the eyelids. Indifferent glow of unbroken snow feeds the crawl of a glacial torrent, a gentle maddening press that forges a strangled root of torment. Even the path to self destruction can light the way back home, the vein that winds through woods so dark and deep can lead to Rome. In the end we all chose one, love or fear, the choice that forms us all. They are the words we write on the same wall. Progression, unending arc. Procession to the final dark.
