The Infinite Aperture..:: ::..:..::. :. :.: Fields of Servitude

::The Infinite Aperture::

Beg, to glimpse.

Spectral parallels
of inertial frame,
violent spiral,
and infinite aperture.

Refined and undefined.

Cosmic massacre birth rites,
swarming tinned suns in sepia sky
and impenetrable void outlines.

Eviscerating deity,
into meteor ash
suspending above.

::The Fields of Servitude::

Great grained, black and white fields of wild rye
bowing beneath the wind and reapers' scythes.
"In burden, the living need pay no mind."

Ignorance comes, bleak rock spire colossus.
Maw hewn agape and gagged in chain,
tethered to the crashing of places, complacent.

Where roam the shepherd, robe, hood and stave,
wolves draped in sheep skin, blood lust stayed,
grazing upon the fields of servitude's knaves.

The shepherd turns to meet our gaze.

"In the grey, everything has it's place"

....so the vision fades....

......and re-plays.

There is a machine attached to the bones of this write. The ending lends an effect that makes me want to read it again. Great read.
