Into distance and asphixia

Sweeter than love and ecstasy
The penance I pay for empty flesh
Gasping and clawing at the moon
Carving abysses in me
Carving singular moments in forever

Suspended and frozen screams of agony to monument the reconciliation of desperation and consciousness
My compass spins around and around
Mocking my desperation for consciousness
On this beach of flesh
Steel strikes the sands

I dream of a shore where red tides meet the firmament of the universe
