molto vivace - The Black Dwarf

The splash of colour explodes into emptiness

As reapers capture minuscule stars at midnight

Their mouths swallow the moon

Eating her alive

The strangers erase

His dirty tenderness

Bleach out colours

In the blood that flows in his veins

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6eRuHhguu

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYvWWLRS6V

Here lies the horse that couldn’t run

Here lies the stiffened heart that doesn’t beat

Here lies the rock

too smooth to kill

396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMWwbm0a4x

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Dissipated
