Once Atrocitie Has Hacked Upon Daylight's Throat

Torn, hacked and slashed

Painted from within as brushes to detune

Hordes of the firmament cumming nails as heavy rain

Bright sun extinguish'd as the stars did wander darkling

Rayless, pathless and disfigured

Thus swung blind and blackening in the moonless air

Morn came, with no day to forget it's passions in the dread

Of heavenly desolation dwelling beneath the throne of atrocity

Consumed, detached within the eye

Set on fire with malice clad, so hacked fell and faded

Torn, hacked and deeply sliced

The feeble ashes and breath both remnants of the rayless ra

Atrocity with open wings

And all was black upon the hacked throat of daylight

Unearthly darkned flashes ruin the despairing sun

And both gods and angels hid their eyes and therefore wept

" funeral piles with fuels with mad disquietude on the dull sky

Malice gnash'd it's teeth and howled as daylight terrified did shriek

Flutter'd on the ground and flapped it's useless wings… "

Once atrocitie has hacked upon daylight's throat

Tame and tremulous, hissing stingless

Crawled and twined to be slain by blackned atrocity

And war did glut the sun to gorge in gloom

Atrocity famine fed upon daylight's entrails

And it's meagre rays were gloriously devoured

Raped, torn and grimly hacked

Void and seasonless, and that was death

A chaos of hard clay once atrocity whets the scythe

" …the waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,

The moon their mistress had expired before;

The winds were withered in the stagnant air,

And the clouds perish'd; darkness had no need

Of aid from them - she was the universe "
