cloud of the seether

    
black leather teardrops    
hang from melaleuca    
sheoak and fig    
where the devilish hide    
cackle and amass in mania    
   
beneath the seether cloak    
remains something unmistakable    
the foulness of lilac psychosis    
   
muscle recalls paranoia    
kindling piles    
agitate the caldron mind    
   
anxiety feeds on the feeder    
this makes the feeder anxious    
and so the ethereal illusion loops    
   
venture to wetland forest fringe    
wallow beyond midge shores    
fall deep within the swarm    
where leaf weevil    
rain like micro zombie    
spawn from cock vain apocalypse    
   
embedded decisions unmade    
compromised by perception    
apathy impaled with emotion    
   
melancholy is an empty deathbed    
   
mind your feet    
ignorance abyss    
mind your feet    
denial denial    
mind your feet    
maundy maundy    
mind your feet    
   
melancholy is a coffin nail
unready to bend    
the flow of mayfly feelings    
   
overhead the flying fox let loose    
dusk aswarm with life    
cloud of the seether    
relinquished by ritual and purpose

Author's Note
Strange how shadows always follow you where ever you go... bats are interesting too. The video footage was shot in the historical cemetery and a rooftop carpark in my home town. Sorry about the quality of the spoken word reading, it appears my mic ain't working so well these days. I've also made some late changes to the poem, so plan to rerecord the spoken word once I get my hands on a mic.
