Falling in Circles
Flesh Fainting, flooded from within Muscular nausea Slight neon in the teeth Discarded in paralysis The bones begin to glow Endorphins rising like a lurid sun Eyes sink into the dark As other eyes open Losing all grip And the floor disappears And I plunge As the world around me Levitates away Delirium Falling in circles evermore Shocked awake As the world around me Levitates away Delirium Falling in circles evermore Down I keep tumbling Fresh oblivion Lays its fires Born Into panic Crazed By an impact That never comes Mind slowly aging As the world around me Levitates away Delirium Falling in circles evermore Who was I I forget Since nothing ever lingers I keep falling in circles Never to land Never to belong again

Mundus plenus monstrorum Parietes odium spirantes Tranquillus manendum Et continuandum Vanitas vanitatum, Et omnia vanitas Hic nil diu durabit Nether after deathless nether Abyss underneath fathomless abyss Count your blessings As long as there still is A “you” to get upset I’ve been sinking for so long That “up” is no more Than a crumbling memory Abyss Abyss underneath fathomless abyss So devoid of soul Even fungus turns away In loathing of what’s left No photon has ever strayed To where blackness itself Becomes a blinding light Time and mind Eaten alive Dissolve Reduced to a tumorous hole I’ve been rotting for so long That “I” has faded To a mere threadbare nexus Of vacuous woe A universe crushed below A multitude of universes Past and future Mangled in the bottomless void Of an annihilated presence Death - a relic of happier times
