Exile

Vitrified by the curses

of a crystal woven sky

stands a feeble mortal

a vivarium,my prison!

"This is the Rubicon" says the voice

ripping apart the silence of the haunting night.

Rearmed were they

with the weapons of death

every breath choked

and the residuum left stench

for resurrected are the howls

of darkness and possession.

Day after day and night after night

we heard the reveille

when life wrapped itself under covers of fear

and armies of death marched

the mothers in taffeta

wrote an ode to their sons.

Glistening with blood

they lick their sharp claws

laminar coatings of flesh

leave the mortal souls

far away the oboe bids farewell

the obliterated joy mumbles in the night.

Gazing into the dark realms

a taste of vermicide before the eternal dissect

the yews standing still

waiting for the storm

a drop trickles down

the prisoners are free.
