From this high up the world seems not to move
fading into new realities, twisted landscapes
passing toward a horizon at the edge of all there is
the colors strange and broken
bleeding out across a sky of long shadows
and falling to the world below to fill in the empty places
where knives cut out pieces of an already broken heart
Now see to it that mountains fall
and deserts rise to meet the bleeding sky
Lay waste to the horizon
clawing toward that high dive over black abyss
carried on winds heavy of a storm tossed sea
into a wicked night that longs never to end

Looks like this Winter is going to be a rough one. Everyone stay safe!

Give me a long sigh. That’s a good thing.
