Ritual

I've witnessed the soil corrupting
Blisters upon the stone
Pulsating with such a hunger
For something
And motions more akin to bursting
Just to stabilize
I tread these hallowed piles
Discarded flesh
Emulsified
Disperse their blood to vials
Methodically redistributed
Not one drop more
Reintroduction of the dregs
The shell abhors
Clairvoyant through bedrock
Ah
What shall this ritual confide in me
I feel the rocks beneath
Contorting
Ah
The shallow gasps of life
Violently spewing forth
The knife
I clutch and introduce new blood
Slowly earth begins to turn and grind
Against the bones of old
Of old
Mouth that folds into
An eager O
That churning
It strives to pull life
to a bleeding sway
Dancing glade
Gnaw and splay
Sludge into into my shoulder blades
My compass
Masticate
Compression
Mash and grate
I take the mantle
Of its keeper
Qualm its cries of
Pain
Ah
What shall this ritual confide in me
I feel the rocks beneath
Contorting
Ah
The shallow gasps of life
Violently spewing forth
The knife
I clutch and introduce new blood
