Virus

Like a virus
That spreads
And infects from tumor to sigh
Like a fungus
It grows without my permission
And unarmed I let it poison me

And I sculpted in ashes
Watching a hurricane approach
Dissolving the mineral of the soul

Like a moonbeam
Over the seas
Passing through the abyss of my miseries
As if it were true
That my weakness
Fed and strengthened it

And I sculpted in ashes
Watching a hurricane approach
Dissolving the mineral of the soul

Like a virus
That spreads
And infects from tumor to sigh

As it gives me no respite
I thought of mutilating myself
Infected viscera fermenting the flesh
Microbe-titans
As if in conspiracy
No sacrifice will be enough

And I sculpted in ashes
Watching a hurricane approach
Dissolving the mineral
And I sculpted in ashes
Watching a hurricane approach
Dissolving the mineral
Of the soul

Like a virus
That spreads
And infects from tumor to sigh
