Pyro
Burning I rise
To swallow the cross and summon
Tsunamis from my jungle lungs.
With a whim my Mongol breath
Turns water to gasoline-
Watch me drown
Igniting explosives
Setting fire to the skies,
Setting fire to the old
Outdated lives
Of those billion blind eyes
Addicted to box, the cave
Of colorful shadows
Cast in 1280p HD.
Hunt for light
Break free of all idolatries
Mistakenly claimed as your “I Am”
For truth declares
I Am We
We Are One
We burned to become
The brilliant Son baptized in liquor
Pools and sweat-soaked sheets,
Grasping for heaven
With acid tabs under our tongues,
Hands full of sin
And minds full of gold we could not see
But now we feel- Broken free
What vibrant bombast
We become
For We Are
The torrent and the dam
The dragon's throat and threat
Of song
The ox and oak
Apollo's match and muscle
We Are
The bronco hearts
The bloody knuckles
The eye of the hunt
And the grin of bullet teeth
Forged from ruckus and scythe
To become the terror of veils
Osiris at dawn
Roaring as we swarm
Reborn
