: GRAND FINALE: 'ragnarok' (i'd apologize for the lack of a cut, but i'm not sorry *shrugs*)

[_phalanx]

a work in two creative modes, and an exercise in verticality.

NOTE: if its all fucked up on your friends page, view it on my main LJ page _phalanx for the intended effect.



a whisper of wings

and the darkness beats its skyward way

harbingers of
the hanging god

i invoke thee

banish all thought
and memory

what was to learn
has been learned
what was owed
has been paid

knowledge and the noose

twilight has descended
all blood is spilt
all tears are wept
and all that's left
is to take my

nine

steps

back

and die

my world's been washed in red

stained incarnadine

and now the bloodletting's stopped

and the echo of the horn

fades over the hills

the earth's been rent

by the struggle of giants

and i don't recognize it anymore

time for Surt to start his fire

time for me to close this chapter

time to rip my hands into the corpse of Ymir
and paint the sky with his innards
time for this all
to burn
and become new

leaving this dessicated place
for the carrion birds

and Munin

i leave tomorrow for tofino. while i'll be back in a week, this is my last entry here. this LJ will be deleted when i come back to Van. all things come to a close. its part of the process.. 'for there to be life, there must also be death'. so too must this incarnation of my livejournal die.

thanks for reading, faithful viewers :)
