Shrapnel launched unendingly From rivers abound, filled of lava Frostbitten from the fires of life. Undeath found in cemeteries Of the solemn sleeping sorrows: There crying from lampshade, Emanating twisted human forms, As humans as they are, As monstrous as they are, Gluttonous and hungry; Hungry for fuel and fire Ingesting ice from dried canyons. Deserts that always were As though they never were: Oasis never found, but illusory, As the shape of nothing manifests And their future confounded, Lost themselves in emptiness.
