you’re breathing me into existence
Vibrating with sad loveliness
Swirling in dark and profane
Deep in the ground, I am breathing
Tendons extending to the molten core of the earth like roots
Your amaranthine gaze falls upon me
Time and space freeze and spontaneously bloom
The finest light could never reveal the softness with which you hold me
Better a symphony
Better an apocalypse.

And he floats above the earth, a spectre
Soil to dust and roots to ash
Destroy, divine destroyer!
Destroy, O destroy!
The seasons shift with the angle of your glance
Laws of nature rendered frozen in your path
From where have you come?
You ruin us with dearth and famine, yet you cradle us like a child
More than anything else that lives and breathes and calls our name
Patron saint of the void
Oh terror!
Oh Exuvium!
Destroy!
Destroy!
Destroy.
