Decursio

from Invicta by Serpent Column

/

lyrics

"Its mere existence, the mere fact of its having endured - even in the middle of a secret desert - pollutes the past and the future and somehow compromises the stars..."

Radial upon axial
Cardo et decumanus

The hulking corpse of a bull
Pullulating with teeth
And fingers
Protruding
From the furrows of Pytho
The silence of a desert
Nameless and infinite
Like each fragment
Pillaged
Hoarded
Enslaved
To the unfathomable caprice
Prying open the maws
Of each and every world
All meridians
Horizons
Temples
Hemorrhaging
Ruined,
And splayed
Their inmost innards
Offered
Yoked
Tessellated
Or tossed to the dogs
By a tyranny
Or a mastery
Infinitely refracted
Tireless and vital
Neither dancer,
Nor augur
Its many phalli
And orfices
Dripping with the ichor
Of inexhaustible vitality.
