gathering acorns by moonlight

Intoxication taunts me
as I pull it quickly in.
Innocence is fading fast,
it's shrouded by our sins.

Visions of a life lived
far better than our own,
are coveted by glowing worms
that dwell within our bones.

"Reason" is a raven,
perched upon our future,
picking at our stitched up wounds,
and tearing out the sutures.

Digging for bone-dwelling worms
that feed upon our past,
the raven can't go quick enough;
time's moving far too fast.[/font][/font]
