|
The texture of the soul is a liquid |
|
That casts a vermillion flood. |
|
From a wound carved as an oath; |
|
It fills the river bank a sanguine fog. |
|
These arms were meant to be lost! |
|
Hacked, severed and forgotten. |
|
The texture of time is a whisper |
|
That echoes across the flood. |
|
Its hymn resonates from tree to tree, |
|
Through every sullen bough it sings. |
|
These boughs were said to be lost! |
|
Torn, unearthed and broken. |
|
Fear. |
|
Earth to flesh, flesh to wood, |
|
Cast these limbs into the water. |
|
Flesh to wood, wood to stone, |
|
Cast this stone into the water. |
