deep inside the corrosive

deep inside the corrosive
the secular glow of man
there is a bone burning
a content to contest
before tools of old
no longer hold a function

whispering tales of no more
float like white sores
skin dying skin dead
hate coughing in chambers
where a flag is just a flag
where dying is slow

the gift of breath and water
the bread song of not dying
the icy sea shore spite crying
may it not be wasted on longing
beneath any risen moon
with any kind of legged eye
