·incantation

Cathedral in a cloud-gravestones cry onto a raven's wing above the flames of a church roof burning. Rain lies on forgotten graves-dreams lie and dreamers die is there a state that corresponds with spirits that abscond . The sea establishes the status of a drowning king, smoke penetrates a ravens wing,the king's narrative echoes off disparate tongues that fail to cohere into a whole. Church clock hands feign knocking on heaven's door, a planet shocks it's guests into confronting the ghost that is more real than them as it amplifies the sound of thermometers fainting-mother earth shuffles her seasons.
