pointing bone

from the fury pit

a reek of misery

like a trumpet groan

tornado moan

the splendor splits like a golden skin

he and the wizards cry like humming birds

in treasure glows

your weeping wings

and a slaughter grins

on a pleasure spike

when held on high by the riverside

like a torn-throat child

in a jackals hide

cool water dies

vile diamond eyes

silent in flamingo ease

distant in troubled trance

within a whirlpool

we're breaking our backs

the tears of the moon

the sweat of the sun

sacrificial hearts for a pointing bone

with a gorgon's head and a cloak of skulls

they're kindling fires in open wounds

pointing bone

in a jaguar skin

blood matted mane

beacons blaze toward a waning moon

when held on high by the riverside

like a torn-throat child

in a jackals hide

cool water dies

vile diamond eyes

the tears of the moon

the sweat of the sun

sacrificial hearts for a pointing bone
