The Dawn Is Hollow

Forbidden to see the evident In fires immersive Demolish the myth of permanence Imprisoned by inward revulsion The dawn is hollow Failing to distinguish between life and death The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay This adornment trivial when we will all burn Deception interwoven in poisoned judgement Transfixed by illumination Last steps to withdrawal The dust cannot settle as disorder persists The iconoclast’s separation from meaningless decay This adornment trivial when we will all burn Toward a bitter end Reckoning with the aftermath Of a future left wanting What once was whole Now shattered into pieces Lacerations are the sign to relinquish Foreshadow immiseration Toward a bitter end Unceasing dereliction Unrelenting decline Desolation is the arc of life’s motion
