mire

after the burial

we feel so much better here below

down here where the eyes are yellow and gold

we rot inside out

we crack and flake

nothing is better than deep down below

my whole mouth brimming of leaves

submerged and gasping for air

let the earth swallow me whole

fertile graves bury me engulf my bones

eyes full of stone as they close

intertwine with the sediment as we sink into the mire

oh i sense a confused declaration

we beat the horse with a sort of unknown conviction

and nothing ever matters

we sink into the mire

so i lay here tangled in vines and a mouth brimming with leaves

theres nothing to eat but she fertilizes me

we feel so much better here below

down here where the eyes are yellow and gold

we rot inside out

we crack and flake

nothing is better than deep down below

do you know what it's like to be inside separate from life

a shallow grave for benevolence

submerged we grasp for light but none that truly exists

better then

nothing now

you feel the earth surround you as you fall

inside a new life animates itself

we feel so much better here below

down here where the eyes are yellow and gold

we rot inside out

we crack and flake

nothing is better than deep down below

we feel so much better here below

down here where the eyes are blank and cold

we rot inside out

we fast decay

nothing is better than deep down below
