Listen to the voices in the river
flowing back into the chaos of the ocean
sinking deeper
shores of ether
Getting darker as her blue eye view dies
like a rose in the winter,
false elixirs
dissolve slowly in the ground
Make it last
the things that pass
through time
decay is all around
I talked to saviors,
White ghosts
Calling in vain through
The colors of twilight
Ceaselessly pleading
I’m screaming now
“Don’t walk away!”
As my conscious fades
Burning down forests
I run to the ocean
Where my eyes bleed discretely
Dreaming
Another day gone.
A wordless place
Assembling
By moonlight
When I wake
All I see is the
Spirals in the depths of empty space
whose cold hands cradle consciousness (afraid)
The multiverse bubbles burst
And ebbing shores
disappear forever
