The Silence Beyond Eden

The Silence Beyond Eden  The sky, dust-laden, wears the stains of ash, while restless souls gather pearls of eternity, yet their hunger remains unsatiated. Frontiers bleed, dreams crumble into ruins, and nameless children inherit an unknown Eden's ashes. Once, your footsteps consecrated the earth, your breath sanctified the wandering winds. Now, iron and fire dictate the fate of spring. Who taught the flowers to fear their blossoming? Perhaps the giants still play their ancient game, moving kingdoms across the chessboard of the earth, while pawns of flesh and blood vanish beneath their shadows. And you remain silent, beyond the ruins of paradise. Is your silence the final mystery of creation, or the permission through which the giants reign?

Dead Body


 Dead Body

The bloodstain

has hardened black.

A foul scent drifts

through fog-thick air;

sunrays falter,

blurred by dust-mote smoke.

Beside the trench,

a body lies—

flesh undone,

dry skin taut

over naked bone.

Vultures keep vigil,

beads of eyes

against a sullied sky.

A hunting dog

sniffs death,

then wheels away—

startled by gunpowder's

lingering bite.

No one claims him

for cremation.

Enemy, they say.

The still corpse

nearly grins

at fear's drummers,

marching others to dust—

their proud orations

fading faster

than his bones.
