Until Dust

lapse again into lessening light ailing spirit,
 failing mind downwards,
 mired, ending life steeped in pitch,
 black as night closing in and pressing on never ending,
 no bottom swallowed in darkness,
 imploring cries mouthless wonder,
 you drift and die and climb,
 up through the substrate, you rise
 devolving and blind
 consuming their eyes
 but the sky has other plans today
 no need for words, nothing to say cornered tyrants left betrayed
 cower, conquered,
 all erased devolving and blind consuming
 their eyes and for the servant, the song is
 absent
 the verdict is just
 strung up high to hang defiant
 until the dust becomes of us
 swallowed in darkness, imploring cries
 mouthless wonder,
 you drift and
 die!
 until the dust becomes of us
