Awakening: Gluttony

Alkira

Gluttony
Still, hungry

I was silence under stone, weight with no name
Folded in the marrow of a gilded frame
Marble mantles kept the light at bay
Silver spoons untouched, the feast in stay

Catalogued stars behind a thin glass screen
Banquets frozen in a porcelain dream
Hunger tucked into the seam
Famine wearing a tailor-made gleam

What lingers out begins to thin
What's not claimed never learns to begin
The lock bows inward the seam gives way
The banquet leans the world will sway

Gluttony come to the table, kneel and bend
Gluttony come to the table, this is the end
Nothing keeps its name or worth
All that lives becomes my earth

Crystal towers hollow, sugar statues sigh
Velvet laughter paled beneath the sky
Golden hands that polished thrones now plead
For crumbs of meaning, for the smallest feed

Faces lean like moths toward flame
Full plates empty nothing stays the same
I breathe the gilded air and find the seam
Every enough undone becomes my bloodstream

You called it plenty
I call it law
Come closer

Gluttony come to the table, kneel and bend
Gluttony come to the table, this is the end
Nothing keeps its name or worth
All that lives becomes my earth

Wrath

Become part of the table, become part of me
