What demon stalks this inner landscape? Rosepetals splay out like flakes of old blood Musk and salt and metal and death Hush little child, now I hear Him His voice, the roll of thunder That constricts across the land That beats upon the frosted glass of the soul And shatters the disquiet birthed in the nightThe cool metal kisses the blue map of life And lets go, the supplicant falls Graced by fear, by pain, by desperation.
