Wasting away within
This carapace of days
No more the mortal displays
Displaced desire's bane
Tainted sacred rites
Sorrow hatred and spite
Torches like spirits enslaved
Condemned by cave walls
Pitiless night surrounding
Fragments of temporal space
Tenebrous violent and deft
Somber, morose until the ascent
Writhing fear I sheath now
Silence for what beneath howls
A grin of wisdom
Resplendent mouth
The feral torpor envelopes me
Wasting away within
This carapace of days
No more the mortal display
Displaced desire's bane
Pitiless night surrounding
Fragments of temporal space
By the stars
Inundated
From an inchoate essence
I climbed the highest dakhma to find it
