The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dByQwX2A6

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz5Kyb8Q0V

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

They chant

They chant

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00k4gtKcN4

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAzDJXtWoo

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

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOPw70sTcL

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Fire and water

Dissipated
