Staring toward the mammoth sky
As harpooning light severs through the clouds
To sear my eyes shut from the illustrated world
Beyond sight
A world of leather against rain
Bathed in conflict
Naked in pain
Pressed face against Mother Earth
As her bottomless moans penetrate the soil
To ma**age my ears deaf from the thunderous world
Beyond sound
A world of velvet and hate
Rinsed in warfare
Denying my fate
