I bask in negativity,
Bathe in its black secretion
Inside a pool of infinity
Confided to the boundaries
Of persistent failure.
A constant force
That is no longer controllable
Pulls downward.
Neck-deep, viscous fluid fills my mouth
And tarnishes my vision - stinging my eyes,
As the struggle to stay afloat worsens.
My hands fade through passing objects,
Skiffs glide by piloted by figureless shadows.
The water is thickening.
The strife to breathe becomes an issue of the past
As the dark seas rise.

As man cycles the Ouroboros
I watch with apathy.
Your God weeps at the hypocrisy of his creation
Whom He molded from his own image.
Only the sword reigns in this fucking wasteland
Overzealous and pathetic dogs.
I grasp Longinus' lance between my fists
And drive my knee through the shaft
Eradicating any morsel of romanticism
That the worthless masses still cling to.

The water is bright
As if white smoke was rising from the floor.
Warmth slowly leaves its waves
And strange hands crawl up from beneath the rock.
Fish sinking into it's brittle tar
Becoming one with asphalt.
I can't sleep at night.
I don't visit them anymore
I don't visit anyone anymore
I can't
But I might not need to
Not if they come first.
Mercury in retrograde
Saturn's rings are fading.
Rivers with roofs
Bridges become the enemy
Avoiding what can't be beaten
Not while the sun still sets in the southwest
And the temperature drops
No not yet.
