Veils lift and vessels crack When power is an absolute All is singular among the ocean Universally approved I am You are All is Within the glass Deep fragile hope brims each vessel All contents molecular and set Each iteration of iteration Beset by tragic fate All at once was the flood The point of collapse The slow death of an empire, waltzing The point of collapse Spiralling towards the sewer The point of collapse The slow death of an empire, waltzing Spiralling towards the sewer I am You are All is Within the glass Every marker met every other and all was rearranged Yet nothing was destroyed And there was nothing gained The ocean sleeps full again Permanence in either state Unwilling rats Unknowing of their stench Unwilling rats Unknowing of their stench Unwilling rats Unknowing of their stench Unwilling rats Unknowing of their stench Perfect Spiralling towards the sewer The point of collapse The slow death of an empire, waltzing The point of collapse Spiralling towards the sewer Perfect.
