Cremated scrolls

Stripped of lore

Incinerate fealty

In fervent ire

Grey ashes, felled atheneum

Cleansed of heresy, grey ashes fall

Scripture as blade, blades of God

Their scribes' ink runs dry

In sacred fire

Lifeless heathens, scholars cursed

Undeserved rest

Repast of crows, feast of carrion

Laid in acropolis

Amongst salted dirt

Amongst Salted Bodiеs

Desacralised souls

Desacralisеd vessels

Lessons of loss Iearned

Vestiges

Grave silent halls bereft of heresy

Grey ashes fall

Cessation of Saline Rains

Raise no cairns. No remembrance

Say nothing of them

Leave nothing, nothing
