Fire Is The End Lesson
Scott Kelly
Bring me
(Bound to barren ground)
My cracked skull
(We bleed it all into the earth)
I washed you out
(The seasons we must bear)
I bled you dry
Another eye
(Reaping celestial fire)
The deepest cut
(With cavern-mouthed dogs)
With nothing left
(The entrails of the mother lie)
I keep love
(Hollow)
Truth is a rising tide
This river runs dry
The mill grinds us down
With stones around our necks
My dissectors read the ever angled cloth
A bringer empty, an empty bringer
I will not question you in my mind
The wall is open and man is blind
The fire is the end lesson
All returners bind me
I woke to the pain of all returners
While I descend those
Fall in and breathe
Walked in spirit
