The want of the sun

Hatching the worldegg, the athanor the eternal

Detaching the paternal dragon from my leg

Curdled milk spills

Forming thrilling worlds, rille-faced as if rake-scraped

Further than far so that nearsighted man has peaks yet to surmount

Bubblewrapped pusclad Sungrasper’s hands, replacing a wick before burnout

Saw a charm bracelet of aligned planets

Reflected in his eye black like ants

He looked back crookedly, as if my love was askance;

When the siren sang I took permanent damage.

Cain pain-full and mangled, addled by regret, a mantle made of adders.

At ruin’s vast brink, a wastrel wall of dented shields and cloven helms.

A place you love that you can never leave,

My life made hell seem easy.
