Black sun above my ashen flesh and fuming lungs
Frail as your favor
Vulgar
Naked as the earth impure
These twisted limbs can conjure only crudity
And disappoint with such oppressive clarity
Black wings abroad in chilling splendor
Your kiss is curse
In agony you thrive and crowned in spite you radiate
Blessed by burden
Doomed to divinity
Swallowed by bitter earth and spit into the heavens
Exiled to dust
Forsaken
To walk hand in hand with plagues among the formless
Hell is here and in your arms
I am drawn into their warmth
Loss, sickness
Take me as your witness
Every fault makes you more flawless
I beg you break my heart
Misery, delicate, I am yours to neglect
To discard as you wish
Grind me to ash between grudge and your preference and again between whim and design
Cut out my tongue, vile one, lest it tarnish your name
Pluck my eyes from my skull
Scattered like leaves in the wake of your grace
Your mountain throne piercing sky need fear only falling rain and sweeping winds
The dreary march of time upon its sacred face
My eternal, I envy your disease
An age of atrophy to all life snared within your fantasy
Black wings
