silence (impregnable)
shrieks so long
muscles knot
around the heart

red
turns the midnight

hanged
riddled beneath
limbs flail

on seeing - silence

impregnated silence
squeaks and moans

moans so long so hard
the earth cracks
beneath its pit
and fire spits

Spit, Fire. Spit.
Burn, Dross. Burn.

burn dross
from clean cruelty

let Black Sky
announce your birth

we know your mother's name
we see your father's sons

                                    graying ... graying ... graying

burn!
