After the Giant Fell

After the giant fell...
The days: we marched.
The leagues we crossed:
Devoid of life-- barren.
The work: we toiled-- grueling.
The time: crawling upon shattered legs.
Unfit to sustain life.

Deep Roots

Deep roots, and shallow skies;
Branches tethered to the seas;
Winds shudder from shoulder to shoulder,
Hands lifted high in feeble surrender.
Season whisper their goodbyes,
Waxing and waning endlessly;
Seeds scatter: some hopeful; some hoped for-
Chance and design in unequal measure.
And thus entwined with the cloud cover,
A conduit for the will of the earth.

We draw nigh upon three days' time,
Through which the obstruction of power
Has held sway over all
The mechanizations of the modern way,
And the frigid frame
Of winter's coldest icy caress
Lends unutterable serenity
Through a crystalline lens of pristine stillness.
Cruel and unforgiving,
The frozen earth thrusts finger-like into a leaden sky.
The hollow is devastated.
The hillfolk congregate for necessity:
Fire for the cold,
Food for the hungry,
And music for the weary soul.
The restoration of power did naught to quell our woe,
As it never quite snuffed our whimsy.

The Rhythm of Clockwork
12:01
|

|
Whimsy and grim tidings,
One by one by one-
The day has come to write our name
In water on the sun.
Dreaming of the spaces
We seek between the stars;
Reaching forth with unsure hands
To grasp what will be ours.
How long will winter color
Your words white with innocence?
I will not listen to your
Self destructive common sense.
__
Through this city built on lust and sin,
He shambles ever on.
Machines rumble and criminals grin-
They write his lonesome song.
He stares at the stone-faced clockwork,
Waiting, hoping for a sign.
He bleeds out into pools of the muck,
And waits for the end of his time.
He drowns in the sludge that drips
From the cogs of the great machine.
He devolves with the world,
As it awaits execution, on its knees.
