Cesspool on the Potomac
A city built
200 years
On a stagnant swamp
It stank then
It stinks now
Where swine's hooves tromp
Shit tromping foot
Gelatinous, gelatinous
Male reared for slaughter
Erroneous, ignominous
The fetid stench
Of miasmic tongues
Revolts the ears and nostrils
Feculant sect
Knee deep they wade
Wallow in the offal
Counterfactual cult
Nefarious, frivolous
Forced coercion
Fraudulent, unscrupulous

Points of Atrophy
The years go by and are limited in quantity
Death stalks you in a race you’ll never win
Youth slides by before you even blink
The crawl of time turns into a sprint
Losing time, the flesh and mind
The face you see and no longer recognize
Fall apart, the end of life
Atrophy, the body in constant decline
Squandered chances and mistakes
Too late to rectify as the body aches
Body drained of ability and vigor
A once vibrant light reduced to a flicker
Losing time, the flesh and mind
The face you see and no longer recognize
Fall apart, the end of life
Atrophy, the body in constant decline

Nival Flora Kissed with Blood
Swollen, a kick in the night
She betrayed her own era bringing life to these depths
She slid from the cover, kept dark as she searched
So the nightwatch would not see the glow from his perch
She crept passed the tower, cast long silhouettes
Bloody legs, doubled over, in pain, out of breath
Left the keys dangling from the deadlock
She wont return if she makes it, fuck it all if she’s caught
In search of a spot secure under stars
Where her natal screams go absorbed by the dark
The sound of alarms, marching arms from below
She's calm like a crockpot bomb ready to blow
Nival flora kissed with blood
Afterbirth and mud
Astronomic odds
A bless or curse from god
Biological warfare struck the early aughts
Global sterility left like an afterthought
The uniforms just doing their jobs
The doctors, the scientists, poke and they prod
In search of a spot secure under stars
Where her natal screams go absorbed by the dark
The sound of alarms, marching arms from below
She's calm like a crockpot bomb ready to blow
Viral aura raped our blood
Afterbirth and mud
Astronomic odds
A bless or curse from god

A Feast for Crows
Carrion, bones picked clean, dead without the help of society
Bloated, in a state of decay, carcass consumed, a maggots prey
On fetid flesh scavengers gorge
Eye pecked out by winged carnivores
The weak have been pulled off the teat
All that remains is their tainted meat
Crop, gizzard and gastrolith
Breakdown sinew and ligaments
Talons, tongue and beak explore and defile the anatomy
Fodder for bowls of bird, contorted faces of agony
Larvae writhe beneath ripped skin
Sun leathered lips peeled back in a grin
Gastric fluids drip from feathered heads
Engorged cloacas excrete the dead
Ruptured growths, perforated skin
Flesh flies spawn in ulcerations

Core Collapse
Resisting ever present gravitational forces
Coalescing of nebulous sources
Nuclear fusion
Eventual end point of stellar evolution
Outward radiation pressure
Dispersing matter into the never
Stellar remnant
Eons elapse
Pass the threshold
Core collapse
Runaway reaction
Layers contract
Photodisintegration
Core collapse
Core collapse
Heavy elemental mass formation
Increasing density and consentration
Becon of light from a burning stream
Super nova from light years seen
Black hole remains
Warping localized time and space
Vented rage
Primordial gas
Nuclei fusing
Core collapse
Emits no light
Admits no life
Compressed mass
Core collapse
Core collapse
