We laid father's bones in the dirt Let the smoke of our dreams rise over our fields The last harvest before the collapse Wormwood burning over the hometowns We set the heartland on fire We burned this town down to the sorry earth
2.
Like even here the skies and colors were intertwined So that even here they would collapse and break These coasts lead to the south, Beneath the god who saw us all and laughed These are your lands- The buildings along the highway Spread throughout the last fertile plains Harvester Like bodies falling from where they were dropped The world becomes a tunnel, we plunge every second Vision fails and the focus narrows, they hid us under roadways Profane and desperate And this is how we return to the earth Where did you go in the last minutes? This resistance fails They descended from the eastern heaven Like dogs they fed from our insides We watched them come together, I watched them destroy you alone The beating of wings fills this valley with medicines The hospital toppled in on itself The froth of the sea ate all our shores

Beauty, come down to the river tonight Ruin, be fair when you kiss me Daughter we would hunt But the trespass must be repaid Lay me down in my own blood I threaten none now Merest, hollow and heavy Beloved dogs, follow me Rip this hide from bone Lay me down in my own blood Chiron, recall me Goddess, move in untethered glory

Battlefields 07:08
The glories of blind eyes And the radiance of your dead sons Shuddering beneath the mass of vanity Bereft of esteem The withering began inside Spread to the limbs Consternation Angering the sun The earth herself Violence constellates, the swells reach every shore Destroyed in splendor And swallowed into mire Seasons of ruination Open their bodies and place inside them fire The smoke seeps through the pores and rot of skin, Then ascends A greeting to the daughter A monument to the weight of emptiness

If I have nothing left then it is only because the witch took everything away when her teeth dug through the skin on my back and through the bone of my spine. She tasted marrow and the froth that was hanging from her lips dropped onto me and I could hear it burning through, like chemicals into dirt. I screamed for one week and went somewhere familiar, but no one knew who I was anymore, they all passed by the filthy, broken man who was curled up into the ground calling their names. Now into the backwoods, where the trees grow closer and the sky is shut by branches. I took bites of the earth and ate loam until there was a grave before me. I tried to write down the words that I had come to me one time in that dream, but I can’t remember them anymore. I am laying down for the last time and recalling every second spent with people who I hate. The clouds have gotten denser overhead and the sky is shutting down. The promises of the earth are collapsing on their own weight and falling over top of me. I can feel myself looking for your face in the bramble outside this tomb. For stars in the daytime sky. The sparrows sang protests upon your arrival and then went silent. By then I could not move. I am the fair son of a miserable earth.

Horseflesh 06:16
If the wolves move towards the deer And make to rend open its throat Do we owe it the grace of deliverance? Does salvation mean their jaws will drip? If the innocent destroy through health, Does the hunger in the maw of the beast Stain like the blood on their hooves? If each should fall to their own murder What then does the hunter owe his kill?

My skin has grown coarse and rough over the past months I have cut my flesh and bruised it, I have left marks on bone Now I will come under the frozen sky and tread the boards Whether as a murderer or as the body they find And there will have been a calm settled in my words I will speak as the weakest one, continually flayed Constantly dragged by my legs into death postures The dreams I had throughout were dark And they were filled with motions, departing and changing The stations became home, the static increased The volumes of white noise spoke their peace to me So I grew weary and sought the exit, a way out I moved for love- and when I couldn’t see you, I found what it takes to destroy My dear, I fear this sickness may get the better of me So I will wait for you at the end of the path where the trees clear As sure as the sun chases shadows west I will wait, for you I only hope that you may find me.
