charm/chant against the rapture

1

where in eyes in fence
in clouds after infestation
where apocryphal where limits
where assertive tides where
speak buttress where over
crowds not knowing where
the words but believing where
because they fear death where
a little torn a little apocrypha

go drop go drop go drop go drop
go drop go drop go drop go

Sons of Man this is vanity
this is ghost of Pagan this
drop go drop go though this
is heretical

this chain loud rasp
of voices drops out of the attic
go to floor to power,
estivate wreckage
go drop buildings it was

fated to drown out
single souls with fertility
of restless death over and
drop go drop on the summit
the height there, there.

all they ever ask you
in a flood is
“can you see your feet?”
