Annihilation Lyrics

The sunset fires catch
The dust, hanged throughout the air.
Screaming glints against a bruising sky

He has been taken by the earth.
Spinal roots grasping soil, clutching air,
drinking
greedily
Never forgetting thirst.

The lungs bloom,
Expanded fractal
corolla crown
Pink, yellow, blue, green, pink
A salutation to the sun.

Hands still reach,
always reaching
Each fleshy mote starved for texture,
Writhing without writhing.
An inutterable moan,
Reverberant longing.

Vein blossom vertebra,
tiny petals gasping at the stars
Mouths agape and wanting,
Lolling tongue swole,
still sick
with
spore.

Jawbone curve calcified,
Toothed plumage of smoke.
A voice never silenced,
Just speaking
Slowly.

A skull defiant,
Gray matter halo,
Staring through the endless
maw of sky.

Tendrils ache higher,
gorging sun and moon.
A cairn, a headstone, a henge.
A colony, a garden, a growth.
