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.

Mother of God, burn that dodgy microphone before it lays eggs and re-spawns.
Enjoyed the poem and the written visuals, beautifully crafted in their lyricism. The video / reading felt like you didn’t care too much, and it showed. Can’t be honest in my comment if I didn’t say that out loud. I know you’re better than this.
Sending light to wherever you are.
