Answers From The Undead

I was living A Broken glass
Vomit stenched
Dead-end Existence
One contorted
Stunned
Black and Bluish

From ricocheting off walls

Of a Labyrinth Insane Asylum Life

Seeking

Eroded

Laden

Limping along

Looking for a cellar before the bombs go off

I entered a graveyard

Leaned against a headstone

A Lazaran spirit arose

Drifting before me

Whispered secrets of Unholy Creatures

That Sang
Said

"All the Answers will be Answered
All Will Make Sense
'Thirteen And One Half Sunsets After Death'
Today

I Have All The Answers

In The Swim

I'm an iris in the eye of a fish

swimming up the stream

hoping the body can withstand thestrain

Praying

I Don"t Get washed away

To the polluted waters

Where all madmen fish

There

I"Il Be swimming in weirdschools

Tumbling in tidal pools

Get snagged in the nets

hooked

Caught for sure

Exposed to the airs

The eye will dry

All will go Blank

Not Ease

it is

Being

An Iris

In the eye

of a fish
