METAL VESSEL
WAKE orders a blistering god
Vessel of metal, another of bitter bile
A soul contained in twain
Red burns on the corners of a mouth not yet their own
The absence of agony buzzes like the sun
REJECT THYSELF another god orders, dark and silver
But mind bonded to metal
The vessel of flesh the soul rejects
