A spear of light to span the break
A searing edge, serrated, the lightest touch draws blood
A notch in time
Liminal, and void beyond
My holy scaffold
Inscriptions in the flesh of sky
I reach beyond the pattern
Falling deep
Inscriptions in the icy dark
I reach beyond my vision
Inscriptions in the welts of time
I build a thousand bridges
to the sun
Peripheral shadows at the breach
I invoke the trenchant solitude
The limit impressed upon my eyes
Nightmare, madness, laughter at the glare
This transformation
Soul deforms and shatters bone
Forbidden pleasures
I subsume the far beyond
