01. IIIIIII
The serpent
Coils upon coils
A thousand thousand fathoms
Coils upon coils
Scales shroud the earth
And the facets cabochon eyes
Become as the sun
The firmament becomes a
Writing tapestry
It welcomes the procession
Of the penitent
They seek favor, compelled
By orgiastic terror
In echopraxic convolsions
Hollow prostrations
To outdistance doom
To stave off an ending
Coils curl on coils
Writhing as if
Towering roots
Surging from the earth
From the skies
And all your anthroposophy is as dust
Neither memory nor ghost remains
04. IIIIIIIIII
Have your steps brought you home, brother?
Have you seen again
The silent tomb of our father
The divine shade of our mother
Have you heard her whispered pad
Under the rotting beams
Of once elegant archways
Gardens reclaimed by earth
And stone subsumed by vine
The fields of men who lie
In stupor, taking succor
From ashes
Unaware they have wasted
To mere impressions
Crumbling mosaics and the
Silent banners
Of long-faded triumphs
Lacrimae mundi
The world has grown old
And its tears no longer deluge
In youthful torrents
But crawl in procession
Stately and resigned
As the glory is gone
It fled while we watched
With crossed arms
Proud and haughty, stares upon our features
And you and I, brother, will never be gods.
06. IIIIIIIIIIII
Time breeds challenge
Change what little remains
Breed outside of time
Brood of temporal outcasts
