Culicidae
Titan Arum
My million flying mouths I cast Into the skies to drink at last They swarm upon the skin of night Exsanguinate in ancient spite Diseas-ed, specked with dreaded tokens Of that which must not be spoken The Firmament withers, perforated The plague must rage till fully sated Rejoice at the ascent of the swarm Rising to the sky There to lay waste to the lights Feast upon an ichorous ocean Praise the towering Night God Blood-master supreme The emperor of the insects Spawned from Sekhmet’s dream We, his many children Seek out his desire Nocturnally pursuing And never shall we tire No longer will we consume The common blood of earth Our master craves the golden Fluids of solar birth The currents of stars pulse red with pain Lunar Epistaxis, bleeding rain Now collapsing walls of varicosed flesh Drain and shrivel at my behest The abysmal drone of winged singers Long past the end will sickly linger The insect fingers of my thirst Claw the Swollen Sky to Burst Rejoice at the ascent of the swarm Rising to the sky There to lay waste to the lights and feast upon an ichorous ocean Rejoice at the ascent of the swarm Rising to the sky There to lay waste to the lights and feast upon an ichorous ocean Stab with a million knives Drink the sky Spatter the constellations Leave none alive
