godwent

By Deadlights

oracle leave your windows open 
out from my mind  
breathe into my heart
god went 
widows vast sleep
black veil beneath the dirt 
eyeless destitution 
envy me a-wake 
circumspect 
swollen world beneath lids of glass 
unable to stray  unwilling to relent
cold hands ofwind 
reeving rain of maggots
wriggled warring past palms of dissonance
to feed them and to feed the earth that bore them
line fingers slip into pockets white glow, 
bent backwards
through traps set in speaking walls
woven together wet red on lattice 
ravagingthrough energy
 
paused

staring at a moon wolf dressed in drag 
sputter out coughs in vain 
when he hustled away uhrain away 
with bitter sentiments + cooling breezes 
insects skitter blac the town  
human is old and slowly leaving
 
rose like a god

light emanate grey and white below
blanket the stars in violet and warm 
mass falls onto backs 
ascending he smiled 
light of a thousand suns
fill into the cracks 
cobblestone and wood 
heart cold + dead
beast again
