This Ashen Tongue
.
Shall we then caress into madness?
I gather my harvest in vein
As the silo burns
I turn to the hand of my hope
Cold pale fingers in my palm
Is there not one more breath?
Blue skies
Grey skies
Black skies
Smoke and rain
How can I cry anymore?
My eyes shrivel
Becoming parchment
Fading to the back of my head
Wanting to see no more
My ashen tongue
Weary of the screams
Hinders my voice
My arms
Toil laden
As dirty and bloody as the earth
Carries my harvest in vein.
