Membrane

These borders bound,
A barrier and boundary,
For a millennium.
Armament and wall,
And unyielding patrol.
No being,
Nor thought,
And barricades.
The Outside,
A disease.

Mound God Rite

Obtain hold,

Speak to stone,

And bury hands,

And feet again.

Pockets sewn,

Beneath pelt,

And shut.

Spoken,

Through rock,

And with offerings.

Valley,

And overpass,

Hillside,

And cliff.

Sacrifice word,

And idol.

Uttered,

Deeply in the dirt,

And anchored,

To the ground.
