The sun looks down
from his high astral sphere
and pours down below

Its sad bacterial light

Upon this infection

Wounds of world burning
All the names that travel to void
in the fields of carbon snow


Where the youth turns to stone
Where bodies and dreams

Are material for the dust
material for Silence


Under the fermenting sky
Under the rain of carbon
witness the cold world

choke her children
And hide their bodies below
Down to the infected ground

Where the old nightmares hibernate
Under black carbon snow


(Where the youth turns to stone
under black carbon snow)
