the Lizard King’s words consume one.<\/div>\n
Circles of foreboding torture<\/div>\n
in the future<\/div>\n
bending the heavy branches of madness into stark realism.<\/div>\n

Pieces of the \u00a0frozen sky fall,<\/div>\n
little bits of purity land on my tongue<\/div>\n
and bury me in earth’s cold womb.<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
A simple act,<\/div>\n
like poetry in hand along an endless, empty road.<\/div>\n
Fills the soul, quiets the mind.<\/div>\n
the good times are killing me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n
