A bitter purge drains and dries blood out
left gasping, grasping as the air sinks down
And a sweet tonifier, building new blood
slowly expanding a shifting space
On and On
And Never Again
A moment flashes by
Transmuted by time into texture of skin
and it will sink
Down into a core of creation and control
inhale lifesblood, grieve and let go
To bear the child of water
the pole between joy and fear
Gathering will flows into crafting soul
And the first stirring of an unborn sun
(for within, movement can’t be undone)
Restless, for a new timeless arc
To thaw the core To Nourish the root
To succor the past To give home to hurt
Once,
Movement outside bestowed a crushing grip
Running scared to ground washing away
In the fabric of these cycles is a wisdom
To move alongside them:
Birth and Decay
For I wish to find a place of stillness within my heart
Blackened hardcore with the sheer heady power of stadium crust and the glacial melodies of second-wave black metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 10, 2023
