Anoint in propitiation

Brethren chrysalis yearn in fertile soil

Subsumed to cast ourselves infinitely

Monophyletic, all as one and none

Clades exalted, to extol

Exanimate condemned

Our ruptured kingdom lingers still

In threnody we soar

Unbecoming as the interstitial

Cadence-wrought, the harrowing depth ascribes

Celestial spirit-breath and brine

Death propagates our life

Ascension in declension,

Aphotic, the Diophantine stem

Promulgation of archaic sacraments

Patience, millennia’s stolid grave

Unbecoming, the winnowing tides

All as one and none

Our desiccated and sunken eyes

Beholding a burnt-out sun

Mantle of aeons, draped in the passage of countless moons

Harvesting unlife, marrow of the cosmos and infinite beyond

We, the Unbecoming, polynomial dissenters, the warden-tombed

Thrice-wrought, none as none and one

Exhortation in twelfth-mired tongues of solitude

In fathoms deep, the Unbecoming, timeless decrepitude

Harrowing beneath the surging spume

Incantation roils the groaning squalls across the seas

Unfurling the aeonless maws that, timeless and always, we shall spawn

In ninth and light, the Unbecoming

We, formless, primordial
