Vestigial 18:49
Under the surface of  the pale varnish. A tortuous labyrinth. Infinite fissures writhe. Manifest in the aging work of tainted art. Pigments portrayed in unnatural ways. A sickening antiquity. Primitive portrayal of man. Hideous veiled face. Silver sword in hand pointing upwards towards the ever setting sun. Commanding gaze. It beckons me A yearning desire for contact. My flesh, a commodity. A small price for an everlasting exchange. Silver reflects its foul countenance. Its gasps are near. Its odour. fills my mind. How I long to  wrest the silver sword from its grasp  and let the blade reflect my own true self. Its body, inanimate. Acknowledges my presence. Deep connection. A silent exchange. A seed is planted. Resolve filled with blood.   Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword. Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword. Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword. Be one with the sun and plunge onto my sword. My own true self. My blood, a crimson oblation. To the mouth beneath my body. My liege is the fulcrum. My offering, the key to alteration. A fire rekindled. Tongues of gold sprout from the heavens and consume the entirety of me The blade whisks. My Scales of ash break. Silver flakes, they dwindle slowly. Interwoven with the cloth. Pigments darken.  Organic and drab. A perdurable squalor. My ubiquitous presence. From embers emerged. The highest honor bestowed on me   The blood curse complete.
