One not find it here, the solution clear, constitution, breaking resolution
Such a cynical game, war fought for fortune or fame, defenestration, time for resignation
April, the cruelest month, broken images in dust, clairvoyance, couldn’t have foretold us
Sensibility destroyed, whispers employed, cold metaphysics, warm between dry ribs
This bitterness of heart
Of all feeling you lack
This bitterness of soul
No longer to extol, Has left us dead
The bitterness of mind
Of immoral kind, hanging by a thread
This salted earth, malignant birth, fire creeping out the cracks
I’m no longer here, mortal plane severe, severs onward, coils unwrap and falter
Engulfed in the drought of days, wasteland unfazed, king turns his back on, arid fields that haunt us
Thunder without rain, its voice cries out in pain, what words it said, left misheard or misread
Cryptic messages unfurl, and the gyre whirls, center breaking, God’s left foresaken
Well I’m no reluctant corpse, I thought I was better than that
Avoid the middle course, no hell truer to point at
Now that I’ve become nothing, I can’t help but laugh
And now that I know nothing, gives way to oil, tar, now ash
And here it comes
Absolved
by the saints of the world
Stretched taut, Arrows flung, unyielded the ghost
give in, forced out, inversions of shame
absolve, absolved, for sins in our name
absolve, absolved, we brandish it all
Absolved
By the length of a life
Unlived, unloved, time frozen in strife
Read the lines, dread the words, the escape is to die
Absolve, Absolved, not alive not deceased
Absolve, Absolved, mass has ended go in peace
