- Belial
Conversation trickles from the mouth,
Delicate and airy
Like the notes from a music box
Opened for the first time
Lightly floating music,
A violin perhaps
Captures every listener
Like a rabbit in a snare.

(ordered gash. configured lament)
take away my body,
seeking pleasure in question
"jesus wept" he said, but there were no tears for me.
there is no north on this moral compass, no hidden world for us to see. just what slips through the cracks of perfection.
(ordered gash. configured lament)
gift of the giver who took it all
- Homesludge
you wore the clothes of a murderer
i was dressed just the same
promise took flight on crow-quills
used to pen farewells
written to me
comets knotted their trails
'round each of our fingers
snaring our bravery
- Manic Meow
why try
when so hard it seems,
to gleam hope from the futile
or childish release
intent that our bearing be fixed but uncharted
while denying our right to exist, like the holes for our starting.
- Sadgasm
no cat, no cradle, no light at the end of the tunnel,
a cosmic joke with no punchline, but still i find time to smile.
stars make a living, cold calling lovers¦
no solus in a false apparition, false idol of myself¦
i'm scared too
shades of grey, tethered
- Salvador Dalek
Upon my chest he carved names of
Everyone he ever loved
The canvas was blank
The canvas was blank.
With eyes
Drawn for others
It was hard to see him
- The Darkest Timeline
so i thought i could walk through walls
as it turns out it was walls moving through me.
passive as always, passive as always
if the world stopped turning,
would i just fall through the floor?
would i just fall?
maybe i would.
