The fragility found me one shimmering eve
I was trapped trapped
I saw those Beverly Hills Palm trees witnessing me
The eternal war
Let them burn
Let them burn
A conflagration that I started
And I wanted it burning hot
Fires from heavens edges
I wanted a break from the circumstances
Then that summer eve said hello to me
That eternal war Being
It was despair wasn't it
I was warned about being that destiny that remembered my request for salvation
I was in the sweltering yellows of summer
The cars racing on residential streets
I pretended the spotlights for Independence Day were for me
And there was I
Being that destiny
I feared it needed me to grieve
Even the homes had more than me
I was an isolated angel
Living on the rims of minutes like a mariner of Time
Excellence would have killed us anyway
My life is this nothingness-are you kidding? I grieved I grieved
Desire that overthrew nations laying waste to me
It doesn't matter we were guaranteed doom
And our lives would be over soon
I'd make no vigil for dusks
They had the rest of us anyway
And I them
Who could survive the sentencing
The eternal war it was on
I don’t think I ever thought my life would be so much nothingness
I'd make no vigil for dusks
We were guaranteed freedom but it was a whirlpool of light
Arcade of the angels
And I was the game they were playing
The Great War
They wouldn't learn
Summer eves sentencing me
The sky was an inverted forge
And I wanted
More of creation
I prayed it was a feverish creation
Because I was sure it would end me
Demon of Frankenstein
I wanted out of my chains
The sky was an inverted forge
And I wanted more of creation
The gulfs of dream
Desecrated me
I was lost in other dimensions
Hollowed like purgatories of light
Desolation in the sky
Wreckage in torrents
I could have sworn
God was a monolith
That we erected
Divinity, was it a delirium?
I mean the odyssey was weird
I was on embankments of freedom
And I reasoned
The wingbeats were angels and not demons
Wreckage in torrents
I could have sworn that
God was a forge I invented
Like Frankenstein
I learned to love my chains
They resurrected me
I was a ruined ornament of earth
I reasoned those wingbeats weren't sentencings
Unreadable like a rune
We would all be dead soon
And I reasoned
Disappearing into a creek
Was a nice end
Sifting through the night
Summoned like a starling
To the breeding grounds
And I witnessed
The adamantine gown of the universe
Like an inverted angel
I was in a lattice dreaming
I feared that rhizome was witnessing me
Fracturing was a grace to me
An heirloom in my possession
I couldn't stand it
I panicked I panicked
The wager the wager
Sifting through night
I was in the god-grotto with a wager in my possession
Passage through summer seas
Passage through the empire winds
My fragility like a sacrificial beast
I took shore roads to redemption
A hostage in the hour of the goblin
In imitation of fire I died I died
There were avenues of summer seas
Releasing me into crystalline
I was a sacrificial beast of the winds
Like a monolith of light
Prometheus of the dark grasses
Brandishing blades in the first firelights
Bewildered in sleepless eternities
I found shore roads to redemption
Life like an alchemical seal
I was destroying things for creation
It was a sentencing of light
And I was wise to it
Washing me into oblivion
Alchemy like a temple of Pan
I wasted light
And I panicked
The eternal war
I was an automata of earth
Being that existence
Was it intelligence
I wanted out like a summer thundercloud
I lifted into vacancies
That released me into summer eves
Immortality is not for me
Immortality is not for me
Existence was an exquisite sentence to me
Killing your self for art is survival too
Light ages like lilies of the Nile
I wanted the light ages killing me like desire
And I witnessed the decay of my reason
In the hour of the goblin king
The light ages feared me
The eternal war was on
And I was the chief
