What is this moon if not for barkers
With its rusted sheen shifting in the sea
Eclipsed by the sound of rain approaching
Miles and miles away a baneful current seethes

Fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irreversibly upended
Earth to sky

The core of night grows only darker
Northern lights, fearful eyes
Flicker feebly, flash and die

Fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irrеversibly upended
Earth to sky

Scrеams that benight me
Spilling forth from my core
A vortex stark, obscene
Lies, I cling to fading lies
Let the riptide have it all
The scion of the stars
Savagely fractured
Disjointed and distended lines
Well disguised
Crudely ruptured
Irreversibly upended
Earth to sky
