Tribal Carnage

HARVESTING THE OVERMIND

It only gives back when it wants to, When the time is right, As a furious wind shreds memory & Constitutions blur, Retching grey, tarnished sediment, Of the Earth – NOT of the Earth – Washed up on an alien shore …

There is no recollection of reaching A place such as this; All mythic legends dissolve, Burning tempest of the mind, Washing thresholds away, Retching pedigree after pedigree; Where unwanted sorrows flee, Din of egress in the void, Golden timbre of the enchanted, Likened to ghosts in summertime, Manic, wandering soothsayers; Tribes of forgetfulness, Eddying temple …

Splintering homeward, resurrected, Returned to shadow, Bordering Leviathan’s dream, Kingdom of the depths, Veiled steps to bright domains, Where the Refugee wields a Key, Yet unknowing of what lay inside.
