children of lilith
lead the way, follow a million chatters
that soothes the mind. the mountain
turns to a dot when brought high up,
with mist covering the pinnacle -
don't look down, the cloud is like
strawberries on a merry field sprouting
ponies dancing to the sway of the wind
puffing about her last destination.
empty gestures says the polite man
when a herd stampedes into ripe harvest
no longer. the ruins and desolation do not
register when a shrug, a nod dismantles feedback.
just possessions, no need to be alarmed!
the billion chatters now echo inside the head
of a man in stupor, with a grin plastered
perpetually because this game is so much more fun.
falling fast, feels like flying - become a bird,
flap around. thin arms mock the wind, whose destination
is currently even better than the last,
with one message surely lilith must rejoice.
here, take this, bag of garbage, whose mind is
completely crushed. heart taken by an infinite
possibilities for they're all plausible: why bother?
to hit the wind when it is the only thing giving.
flight, gravity sucks out all the flesh
still believing in harmless nothing. the air is
thick with venom, the waters below turned
to ice for the sea no longer wants to adapt.
smash. right at her feet. a groveling dog
barks. who goes there? but she is haughty
and mighty. stares insolently -
tucks this little souvenir where it belongs.
deep within layers of honey, blackened
with soot. charred out living matter used
like cigarettes smoked completely. one last puff,
what a drag with one mouth still telling a story.
