Titans
Careening through the void, swifter than sound
Cold
Hearts of ice and stone, ballistic, pure
Strike
Swing the hammer at the virgin ground
Burn
And spread the fires that naught shall endure.
Born of destruction
This leper, cursed and expatriated
Cosmic abortion
Accretion gathering force
Collecting the bones of once-great gods dethroned
Millennial corpse hurtling on toward rebirth.
Centuries of dust germinating
Binding in a vacuum of desperate need to form
And from the shadows, emerging
With shimmering abhor
It plummets to the realms of the mighty
Apollo, aten, amor!
Onward to the fires, ever-burning
Illuminated
Crowned with the vapor of
Regal catastrophe
This blight in-formed.
The firmament's arrows
Falling force of hate
Pierces the shield
Defiles the plates
And in the titan's rupture
Spurting wound agape
Sow the seeds of terrestrial rape.
Inoculation's gift
The children ill-conceived
Who dream of permanence
In righteousness deceived.
The rippling continents
Heaving gods
To hell and death
Blast—churning waves of hulking stone
A rising horizon—red
Crashing back to molten oceans
Back home
Become the blood of life to come
The blood of life to come.
