Reciprocal Abandonment

Passive subjection
Contagion in a putrid pulse
Submerged in falling dust
A threat of renewal
Each gyration an arrest
A grand stage for apathetic eyes
Captivated by the chasm
Alluring nothingness
Insatiable harvester conscripted to consume
Ghost of my blood
Phantom limb
Sever the crown from its walls as the veins rupture
Smoldering nerves bare at the foundation
