to the horizon, a remembering, death on the horizon, a dark star. It throbs in my gut, since birth. A shadow of a forgotten origin. I am a smear of primordial ache. a dead star. Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. A dead star, a dead star. The ruin of earth. The shudder of bombs. The wrath of kings. The christ of horror. The fall of Rome. In my flesh. In the blood an infinite tree stands. In the breath, I exist. In the water, I remember. Fire is my will and dark matter, my guide. I am a smear of primordial ache. A dead star, a dead star, full of dark matter.
