“Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for.” -Shirley Bassey

I remember a tale of groundlings who shed faster than rumblings of a long night’s flame kissing Eaaarth eternal, Eaaarth most holy. After every soul spoke of routine did an oxblood quickness overtake an enveloping greystricken horizon. Approaching awe twisted in rotating knots until each night became a candlestick longer, turn, turn, turn. Here come mineral and transfiguration glued to tongues heavy with ‘they said, they said’:

“Burn them. Drown them. Weigh them down in alabaster.
Gems scream even through the densest of bruisetainted
waters,
over desert Temptation walks where drummers exist at a tortoise tempo.
Places of crackling silt then no banging.
No cattle skulls to break vision.
More gravel and whispers until every drop can become something to write home about.”
