FORGOTTEN GODS
Serpents coil in earth’s dark marrow, molten roots drip black sap.
FORGOTTEN GODS
Serpents coil in earth’s dark marrow,
molten roots drip black sap…
old gods crumble to ash,
voices swarm like bees,
hymns no ear holds.
Rusted chalices spill dusk,
banquets feast on flayed flesh,
bone forests rise from scars,
blood writes scripture,
wounds tear open fire.
Time gnaws cracked calendars,
sand falls from rot’s mouth,
stars bleed cold wounds…
forgotten tongues chant
the earth’s hollow flame.
