feral dawn rouse us
embrace, embrace us
bear the grudging cold
hold us fear! and keep us!
faces blank with pale clay
blacken the teeth with char
fill the sockets nose and brow
tar and hinder lights stay
climb the roost and ask for feathers
their clever eyes watch as we gather
ever watching
discarded down with which we dress
as auguries of menace
the trees act defiant
we bless the trunks to take our stride
for they will carry our light feet
to where we bathe in blood
The ice obeys the periphery
macilent shards the trees entwine
they goad the yawning dark
we climb high, on forgiving limb
scent of sap and pine enfold
we are silent like rasps of breath
the sure sway of withered bough
take us high and crack the roof
the sky present tense of white
eclipse the unbearable weight
of what lies ahead
we bridge the canopy with
grace and silent gall
the forest hushed so that we may
seek out our undoing
what foulness breathes the liquid
through sunken teeth in skin
what dares cheat the
urgent anima within
the white of villain eyes
their foul mark with ember wreath
we hang like Tytons taloned frown
drool our hollow maws
above their raucous voices
we drop like Chiroptera and fly!
tenebrous shadows collapse
sever lifes umbilical
Spoken word (In English from Spanish)
"what on earth is manifest?
broth of dread
so many arms, so many mouths
brandishing profanities
wreaking havoc wounds
low and cunning in their language
begot of living bone and brawn
judge the cruel division"
descend! brave emaciate
consume their swollen bodies with
the death they covet so vigorous
quick tongues deliver us!
descend! brave emaciate
consume their swollen bodies with
the death they covet so vigorous
quick tongues deliver us!
the yelp of gracious fur
the giving grace of kin
following the step intimate
of far older eidolon
we do not know their faces
they hold a vacant appetite
they wear their hunger
like we hold our chaste
in all our world there is no sore
like the bray of maddening
and we are lain empowered
in their sad unmaking
and we live forever
in the forgiving grin
