My garden of scars has grown so unkempt
The old man quietly going mad
Delivered from the ocean to choke in the sand
Who will ring the death knell then?
Now I’m stranded in an ageless trance
On a glacier of coruscating glands
Electrode surges in sapling hands
Sharpened at an igneous glance
Through the eye of a needle
We are slipping away
Behind the walls of the tree line
The storm gathering
Erogenous gap of generations in flux
Stalactites in Limbo of cavernous lungs
Culminating humour in her animal crux
Falling at the tip of my tongue
The blade is rusted and dull
But the wound glimmers
Like millennial winter
Drawing to a close
In the dead of night I remember
Dragging my body to the shore
Looming at the brink of sanctuary
The shepherds chained to the earth
