the world is dark
and the sky is burning.
drops from the sky
is ashen snow

blackening engines roar
awakening from their chains
chains forged in distress
chains forged in acceptance
chains forged in blood
for it runs down my eyes.

when i wake up
in a cocoon of mother's embrace
wires strangle me.
the void is more welcoming.

this cycle ends
only in death.

only in death
does duty end.
