Until Dust

lapse again into lessening light ailing spirit,
failing mind downwards,
mired, ending life steeped in pitch,
black as night closing in and pressing on never ending,
no bottom swallowed in darkness,
imploring cries mouthless wonder,

you drift and die and climb,
up through the substrate, you rise
devolving and blind
consuming their eyes
but the sky has other plans today
no need for words, nothing to say cornered tyrants left betrayed
cower, conquered,
all erased devolving and blind consuming
their eyes and for the servant, the song is
absent
the verdict is just
strung up high to hang defiant
until the dust becomes of us
swallowed in darkness, imploring cries

mouthless wonder,

you drift and
die!

until the dust becomes of us
