see my queen of the stones and rocks and desert and its
blood dry in the sand sighing as immediate skies
lose their tongues and lick dust of hollow trees and her
carrying to brooks with dreamstricken leaves

staring into thickets black smoke breathes through etched veins
flames choking thick air without a life
man need no breath ruin decay
without life and no life at all

wasting my monument among stars
drown in red sun
glow now for world demise and
find death, just death, naked death

desert echoes closer forest
ends earth asleep
stolen by night's grace
