Autumn falls heavily on broken villages in nestling hills Winter breathes tired sighs through the damaged boughs of stunted trees Behold as smoke pools in valleys like debris And the fingers of sleeping death creep Into every crevice of the weathered ridgeline And though the cycle is inherent and unabridged And though the circle is imperfect, yet complete Finality whispers her threats with terrifying assurances Finality whispers the end of everything There is no solace here On the banks of freezing rivers Above, the blinking spheres unaware The earth rattles in seizures and fits Ever nervous of the ever true The knowledge that all rain will break in the slough And the world is to be forgotten Hydroptic and cold in the waste Though we might jeopardize What your tired eyes have known To be trivial, it is not so. So rest a while 'neath this river deep And may your bones sleep here So rest your weary mind And may your bones sleep here

Thousand pointed stag, antlers shaking the trees Steps unseen, over me Leaving me to the raven's beak And so I'm a feast for fruiting bodies Connecting patchwork to the source source of time, source of light Source of everything Fungal growths to heal my wounds Patch up my shell, this blue cocoon, As tendrils seek out the root of eternity Sucking and grasping and whispering a web of deepset truths And so I feast upon fruiting bodies Connecting patchwork to the source So nest down deeper, deep within mounds of dead leaves Seek out, seek me, seek out the flesh of the wounded one Find me, find me dead in the frostbitten ground Thousand pointed stag, antlers shaking the trees Steps unseen, over me Leaving me to the raven's beak And so I'm a feast for fruiting bodies Connecting patchwork to the source

Reversing life Back on the molecule level Here's what I saw Hidden in the womb of the fox Fear embraced me And then It was your hands The hands of humanity Choked me Saved me A million years passed As the stars Breathed inside me For we all fell Rising into nothingness Again and again For we all fell

Quitting the world In the forest's nest For days The nights were warm The days full Ending our journey With a bag full of snow

Setting the bridges between hope and loss My honesty has gone When I'm speaking to you But I'll fight for it But I'll be my true self But I'll fight for it All this pressure How I wish For a moment I could be myself You and I Remain the same Or are we? So the world evolves

Archaic Earth Mount Forest, Ontario

Born of dripping moss and delving roots, formed in the dark places beyond the veil and sung by the fire and fury of creation itself.
