we get one look at the length
of death's wings
in flames circling relics
chained eastward
chained westward
black link to fire link
black link to fire link
north link to southern link
and a promise
clenching the arrow
in its iron beak
leans into the wind
division street wind
sweats like it's swamp heat
sweats like it's swamp heat
pale glow looms
moons on all horizons
ancestors all
labored between these
rising suns
that torch their own galaxies
black wings feathers
falling around me
skeletal beast
starting to breathe
starting to breathe
he's breathing
