Bones Under A Downpour

Running out of water, Running out of paper, Running out of air, What else do we have left to taper? // No more chambers of faith, Stunted and burnt. Organs afar of misery gale in fear. A wicked wail means nothing was learnt. // Jade bridges on the seafront collapsed. What is green and glossy on the marble, Shines a bleaker black inside. The skies have never felt more mortal. // Must we chortle at this Timid potluck we call an earth? An underworld of mud and gangrene Mocks at our hostility, our lack of worth. // Unmatching our heartless and contrived reign, Ereshkigal herself is displeased but buttered. She caressed the skulls of who she once loved, "Wasted delight," was all she uttered. // See yourself in the waterfall, Color yourself from dust. What came first was once true, Has now fallen deep below the crust. // A collar of spite clings to repetition, Free with only a dying wish. You're thin with a veil of bones, You can't argue with a mind diminished. // Marvel at the enmity between the waterfalls, Rusted warships might fly with the downpour, But all the same, nothing but shame, Enthroned to a hopeless seashore. // Teardrops in a cave, A drowned canopy of wisteria, Ginger flames of a dying sunset, And a screeching flourish of flowering hysteria. // Imagining, imagining, Clueless, colorless ashes, piled. Bones, pebbles and pure, wash away, Underneath the waterfalls, exiled. // Hear! A harp hums in the hereafter! Unbridled olives sing from the ground, Glaciers of memories trampoline, A new gentle earth surfaces safe and sound. // Bear and bide the insufferable tide, Lose your eyesight in a pastel light. Somber, dim, silent, sinful. Listen, you depress the darkest night. // But what now can benight the loveliest place? Of the grandest and bluest and purest Jar of burning and choking glass? Nothing, the stained glass shatters from the deepest abyss. // Lift - rise the shards. Follow the cries of the faint harp. Wrestle the currents, hover the stars, Become the beginning from the mortal dark.
