The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav5p8suufE

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEesI9wTD38

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

They chant

They chant

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZh71MP3pP

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1vNtrOta9

Here lies the horse that couldn’t run

Here lies the stiffened heart that doesn’t beat

Here lies the rock

too smooth to kill

255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYIIgTxguI

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Fire and water

Dissipated
