I have been here once before The air is thick With the scent of pine Roots crushed underfoot Reminiscent of bone I have been here once before The wind whispers peculiarities Horizons malformed Yet the leaves remain Twisting and turning I am beckoned Towards forlorn and obscure peaks

A fatal attraction; Compelled by the limits Imposed onto man By slabs of rock This path will surely lead to death Though steadfast I wander As if nourished by stone Hypnotically commanded by igneous formations Eclipsing the sun Shadows cast upon the land Ascend to escape The damage that’s been done Nothing left in the lowlands Voices from the mountains Whisper seductive words, Their cries Not to be ignored Hypnotically commanded by igneous formations Eclipsing the sun Shadows cast upon the land Ascend to escape The damage that’s been done Their stillness like a pendulum Mesmerizing Lured like an infant to the teat Offering reprieve yet promising demise Commanded by the mountains wager Trudging upward

Desiccated The well has run dry Miles and miles gone Without the faintest trickle Without the smallest drop Convulsions brought upon by drought I am parched.... Deep inside the mind a primal instinct is awakened To alleviate this thirst enhancing chances of survival Tempted by the promise of urine A diamond in the rough My waste to return My chalice unsheathed To sate this pressing need Replenished by piss Temporarily hydrated

Starvation induced psychosis Famished Neurotic Visions of demons cast upon the ivory and grey A consequence of my delirious state Exasperated From a lack of nourishment Predator becomes the prey As my sight begins to fade Mental state weary Gut deprived and turning concave Growing slower with each step And Each step closer to the last A pillar verging on collapse An impulse that can’t be fulfilled A pillar verging on collapse Visions of demons Dance upon the ivory and grey A consequence of my delirious state Exasperated From a lack of nourishment Starved and turned to prey As my sight begins to fade Earth and sky engorged as they feast upon my sanity
9.
This illness This malady This sickness How these heights have turned elation to madness Oxygen once plentiful Has run thin like the thread stitching the fabric of my conscience The onset of nausea sacrifices my innards to the dirt As the wailing wind wicks the warmth from my exposed skin Rapid breath Heart distressed How ambition has turned awry Morale proceeds to fail As strength is sapped from my bones suffering at altitudes elevated

Alpine Tomb 05:08
Alone, defeated Skin lacerated by ice as if sliced by knives Experiencing anguish in isolation Enshrined in snow at elevation A summit; a sarcophagus my demise met with eyes wide open Frozen staring at the sun Becoming one with the hand of god A mortal separation funeral bereft of buzzards a procession at the peak my corpse serving as a headstone shivering to death in this alpine tomb Never to rest In this alpine tomb
12.
Physically deceased Conscience confined Despite this lack of life Forever bound in glacial disgrace Fodder for the rime Lying still for millennia face fixed in fear Permanently punished in permafrost No light enters and none to depart A prisoner of walls fortified by flesh and frigidity An embarrassment to all that is and ever was Humiliatingly preserved in ice for centuries and centuries to come Time unravels My remains poked and prodded by forms unknown to man Time unravels Time unravelled

Sent Adrift 03:04
Unseen Primordial agent of Annihilation The forest bends to its will Permanence forsaken By archaic forces The clouds bellow their calamitous song from the heavens All is sent adrift by the great renewing winds
15.
Frigid conditions Footsteps fail as my physical form enters That which none return This crevasse is a casket Ice laden granite Bears the weight of one thousand souls passed This crevasse is a casket
