Bone Cathedral

Even slow down
In counted days
Miles to fill out
An open grave
A chance still
Awaits decay
A lake of bones
Splintered unknown
Silver in the sand
Drowns my eye
Dog tags wink
In wilted light
The eyes they buzz
An open skull
The weighted lies
Like steel through veins
A sickening
A cloak of fear
Enveloping
A meeting to make it quit
A tireless gaze
A veil of flies gives flesh
To fleshless face
No time to waste
No mark to leave
The vultures will return
Make meat of me
Quickly quail space
A pale husk of I
Inside my mind
When nine scintillates
