#deadcore

LIVE

you think the forest is a refuge

yet the trees twist up and away into the sky

bending away as if to aviod the touch of disease

this is not a safe place

the things darting through the underbrush

know what you did

and they are not afraid of sickness

do not unbury the buried

they are there for a reason

prayers might not save you this time

a crumbling church sits abandoned, do not go inside. you will not be the same thing when you come back out. there is nothing in there but empty space to spill devotion to a god that does not exist. those who remain there would eat away at what little of you is left until you also do not remember the beautiful tragedy of being human

do you see them marching in their rows

will they come back

or will they become just one more face

gone and forgotton

even in death

Do you trust your eyes? Something moves in the corner. When was the last time you saw something that wasn’t there? This has happened before. When was the last time you saw something that stirred an old dead feeling inside you? It didn’t used to be like this. Have you seen that before? It moves closer. When was the last time you saw movement that didn’t exist? This time won’t be the same. How much can you trust your eyes? Darkness envelops you. This hasn’t happened before. Do you really trust your eyes to comprehend the thing lurking in the shadows? The flickering light betrays your place, a head snaps up realizing they might not be alone.

and the hills swallowed you whole

i’m sorry i didn’t warn you sooner

may the fog hide you

and carry you saftely to your harbor

crawl through the window

cut open your heart

fog chasing your heels

with the wind pushing you back

a boy sits at the corner alone under the darkening sky

he offers his hands

(as if in prayer

reaching for the promise that light will come again)

he offers the skeleton of a small bird instead

(he put it together himself)

he tells you proudly

he put it together again and

he felt like a god

(the mercy and the creation of a life in his hands)

the eyes, ever watching, the heart too bloody and the heat too loud

the eyes, always watching, everything from everywhere and nowhere

the eyes, unceasing, smooth and slick is the way of the days

the eyes, now blind, forgiveness became sin

something passes by your garden

as twilight sets in

and compliments how your roses have grown so well

you thank them

you do not mention the bodies

that make the flowers grow so well

It’s like a bad trip and it doesn’t stop
