Death-Drive Projections

"I see" said the blind man
As these creatures gradually watch the Sun die
Into black infinity, our shadows walk without us
Blindly lurching forward, where the ashes align
We will crown all kingdom come
Mutated, negated and turned against us
This is the final state of indifference
Let us rejoice and be glad in it

Time is the great devourer along this ragged mile
It asks not for whom the bell tolls
Now, see how far the termites have spread
And how long and well they havе dined

Eros thanatos

And in time the еye will see
That there are many roads to Jacob's Ladder
From the Garden Gethsemane
To the gallows poll at Akeldema
Again, they will rouse their rats;
Oblivion thrives where they utter the holy
From the pits of Abu Ghraib
And through the pyres of Treblinka
In the sum of all things seen
Projected through the mirror, darkly
They were free to rape Nanking
As the candles of Nyarubuye dimmed
And as our shadows walk without us
So said the blind man
"I see"

Eros thanatos
