Black blood breathe
beneath the rocky deep
burn bright and high
waves broil, frothing
into the flames of your passing
but the gold-toothed smile
burns brighter still.
–
Sizzle, sizzle, boil and bubble
worlds part before
the tremble of your passing–
send tremors to the core
of all the staunchest hearts
come hell or high water
There will be Blood.
–
Wounds fester
like blisters burst
your fevered pitch defies
the madness of their dreams–
the sky and the sea weep black tears
and all are consumed–
come Death or Life.
