Reverse Vortex

light betrayed me and i drowned in the heart of time
recollecting eyes collapsed and days elapsing
mind-diluting hunger for pale skin
microscopical crossfading of breaths

gathering of illusion decomposing
dripping fingers in the cold infinity
where so many plagues grin

slow words fake pulse locked within the swallowed key
i do remember well last time i wept alone
cold worms creeping in and out my grinding bones
reverse vortex in the flesh light burns

gathering of illusion decomposing
dripping fingers in the cold infinity
where so many plagues grin

somewhere between balance
and the rim of our bewildered feelings
unreliable although they nail us to the ground
as caught in a web
cold and intricate

cold and intricate
