First the auspices, they came dripping from the sky, set their course to the coast, black sand blazing in their eyes. We woke and bore witness to a tarnished veil of gold tiny corpses line the strand, obsolescence unfolds.

Intravenously, hypodermic pipelines seep toxins to the sea adorning our shores with negligence. Suffocate, immolate cauterize the surface. Poison dances in the sky.

Walk with me. Walk with me and see our colonies breeding dystrophy. Can you feel, feel the disconnect resonate, burn inside your chest? Palpitating, palpitating pulse failing heart, cardiac convulse. The violence we love, it's cyclical. We rise and we fall, it's inevitable.
