pearl of the amber sea

pearl of the amber sea
tear on the ink of the world.
astral visions, unending and cyclical before my eyes
playing songs of sticky terror
and the despair of a hundred lifetimes.
shaken and empty before the end of the world
or of a dream of what never was
and what shall I do, with my body, with the void?
a shaken husk
grey with the rot of dogs
and the stink of past lovers.
will I be swallowed?
will I fade and never see circling crows
Or will I stand, pearl of the amber sea
tear on the ink of the world.
