Vodsel.
For M. Faber, with admiration and gratitude.
wise carrion,
glinting through immaterial
realms, great, sheer and sinister—
blue-amber, warm cases, aching,
chasmically suspended, in voids, uncreated.
beats-per-minute, blend,
breathless rivers of blood, flood,
prayers boxed, organs, collapsed,
souls snuffed in prolonged eldritch instants.
cosmically gutted,
glinting through immaterial
sinew, marrow, grey matter, cilia, scapula, soup.
