Pull the weeds deep inside my wrists,
a mark of mercy from thine pale lips.
A spirling disk within my eyes,
Painting the stars black and white,
& pray to the headless statue of gold,
Its symbol currently unknown.

Silver platters,
For years to come.
A gift presented,
For the divine.
Walk on time,
Time's white withering roses,
Stuck in a loop of shapeless cries.

Cities crumble beneath his full belly,
Burning our skin in a storm of fire.
Sweet wine,
Crispy bread,
Hidden behind a board of gravel.
Blinded by sovereignty,
Cannot climb out,
Thickness holds my leg.
A tug of justice?
