Ensnared in twine
Final flight
Unending maze of capture
Freedom seized
Extended night
Gorging faster
Nervous greed
Fattening
Strange attractor
Gluttony serving gluttony
Of their hooded masters
Beneath pearl serviettes
Addicts of opulence
Await
Meticulous pointless naïf
Savage and unbehaved
Thrust helpless and afraid
Locked inside a bottle grave
Taken from the skies
Silenced from their songs
Drowned in Armagnac
Taken from the trees
Silenced from their songs
Drowned in Armagnac
Drowned in Armagnac
Drowned in Armagnac
Moments after death
Flames surround
Drowned in Armagnac
Disrobing of the corpse
Grasped upon the crown
Drowned in Armagnac
Opening the insulting mausoleum
And inserted feet first inside
The aroma of death is strong
Behind the shield of linen they hide
The carcass is gnashed within
Leaving the rejected skull alone
Forgotten in a final ejection
Of the most substantial refused bones
