Stepped into the void left my ship behind
Imperfect mimic of unborn men
Reason commands to join you on the surface
Sometimes I think I’d rather drown
You
You walk amongst the waves
A specter beyond reproach
Why
Oh ye of little fact
Abandon years of research
Dragged into the deep by the undertow
Foundering in a nameless fear
Dark saltwater fills my lungs
Transubstantiates into the blood
Down
In primordial depths
Faint memory amniotic
Light
Filters through the womb
Corroded christ arms outstretched
Analyze
Deicide
God inside
Thrice denied
Made to stand trial circle of dust and hate
Fatal meeting of rock and bone
You feign not to show more than passing interest
Draw equations into the dirt
Scribe
Make your absurd glyphs
Your letters of obscure men
Law
Confusing admonition
Go now and learn no more
Empty space remains upon the right hand
You come not to bring peace but a pen
Message in the sand undeciphered still
I’ve been waiting since 1543
Where
Is the accuser
A pharisee to crush my skull
I
I cast the first stone
Victim of my own disgrace
Analyze
Deicide
God inside
Thrice denied
Deny
I don’t know the man
Despise
I don’t know myself
