Truncated stars once more shed
Scintillating tears of purest rapture
Upon thrice-torn asphalt gods.
We is found therein with
Supplicantal vows of vengeance
Upon our worst enemies,
The bane of ourselves:
Ourselves.
Dance we through celestial tears
Of purest rapture and self-loathing;
Abhorring emotional release
For one grainy moment of
Simply physical gratification.
And as we rend us limb from limb,
Unbounding love shall us transform
To thrice-torn asphalt gods
Upon which scintillating tears of
Purest rapture are shed once more
By truncated stars found within
Thrice-torn asphalt gods.

Quite an appropriate "asphalt" read as I can literally smell the tar...they are re-doing the roof as I speak...

good job!
