about

To the Earth

Through the veins of the earth and it's ferrous pores.

haunting the marrow of chthonic vertebrae.

wandering ghost seeking rest in a grave of nothingness.

dire escape.

fleeting and unfound.

the hell of flint blades has stolen my skin.

wishing to forever fall into an endless and unhallowed ground.

sepulchrum incognita.

burden of the gjoll.

Captive of amsvartnir,

cursed by birthright.

saint's steps staining a tunnel of knives.

thread the needle with a propriety noose.

weave the tapestry of self desecration.

smash the urns upon the hearth of emerald.

splay your entrails, blackened and monstrous, in the hall of feasting; to thee Nekbet, to thee Yamantaka.

lips smeared with the charred fats of cremation.

rejoice in this profane canonization.

knighted in the grey dawn of niflheim by the conqueror of death.

"funeral wolf; lift your eyes to what is true. all life dies. all light fades. all things end. everything you love

will hurt you. death gives birth to life. darkness precedes light. all things begin. that which hurts you, shall

heal you"

And thus the rubric's origin.

scented with petrachor and blood.

labyrinthine soul of subterranea beckons me forth through the gateway of disfigured gods.

a silence that exceeds sound, a stillness surpassing motion.

a gift is deserving of a gift.

wade into these waters, never to be seen again.
