The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia7PvSVKlw

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWvWunYo6X

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

They chant

They chant

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSksW5H8UGi

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp0Brw4k58

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

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaaNBgOqZa

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Fire and water

Dissipated
