There's a mountain on the edge of town built Like the remains of a glutton's last meal A path after the greenery flourishes and then stops Where everything blossoms and suddenly doesn't It's structure is the skeletal blueprint of architecture That just never made it into a project Built up by cores and peels It doesn't grow, it doesn't feed, it doesn't develop - just a wasteland of decay I watched it grab hold of those who didn't want I watched it drag people under as they tried desperately To claw at something that wouldn't crumble Not a branch, not a patch of grass Not a handful of dirt could withstand any weight A plane soared miles above it Flying thousands of feet outside of it's trajectory But nothing could escape No one could look at it's face and retrace their steps to a point Where they hadn't seen what could take hold An orbit taking control of the wings Tugging with the strength of a dog with it's jaws around a rabbit A spiral, it spun and spun until I watched a nosedive full of metal and flesh That would disturb the most nihilistic of humans Not a parachute could save a life It crashed I heard scream upon scream Pull their way out of the wreckage to be sucked back in A vacuum letting air flow out and closing the lid repeatedly As I looked out at this crumbled environment the pull took hold of me too Just one look and I'd leave Give me at least one glance The closer I got to the plane, the stranger the air felt against my skin My limbs grew tired and red Stomach growling louder than the roar of the plane itself The skin redecorated itself with tear marks and scabs That I couldn't help but pick Long, dirty nails digging their way into scratches That world peel back the course, deadened skin To reveal bloody bones and pounds of ruined flesh An aura had developed around the crash And a pit larger than what any of us could have imagined It was degraded A hole echoing with the pleas of families separated from one another I saw a purple glow emanating Into a crowd full of faces with bodies I couldn't pinpoint Thunder roaring and rumbling the ground I stood on And breaking down the bones I nimbly stood on Two large heads framed the walls With only their tired eyes left as a recognizable feature Their stretched out tongues tangled around each other Surfacing hundreds of feet - plunged deeply down each other's throats Eyes darting in every direction with frantic motion The teeth scraping the skin off of each other's tongues Until they found me With all the strength in my body I still couldn't move as my legs had splintered into shards That the orbit would pull in Letting them jam into the drooling tongues It only took one last earthquake of thunder to toss me in to the depths And then I was stuck With scabs plucked from raw flesh With a head whacked against the bottom of broken metal A pain shooting back and forth in my brain A hunger, the only thing in my body left to strengthen I looked around and knew there was no way out Only to go further in So I took my first step and felt everything in disrepair
