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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodCbfCoFg9

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFohJqzG9Ap

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

391Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuzI7Qm3Fv

Mutilated

Ice put into fire

Fire and water

Dissipated
