death in the underground
and so I walked beyond
the marbled gate of enchantment
followed by a mist of exhaust
and a limp handshake from god himself
treachery and chaos explode
from the benevolent creatures
filling the cave with echoes of applause
and mindless confessions
set me free and let me die in peace,
atop the razed kingdom of artifice and emotion
alone at the edge of the world
the midday bells cleared a path of freedom
and the untimely death of this cult of children
death in the underground
