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

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjp662DA5B

He chants through numb lips

It seeps through windows to the trail of stars

They chant

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5D1jeLj74

That night

His dead body rusts

on the low-brow ice

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp1fe3uLq9

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

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rNb3kWzQf

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Dissipated
