Wilderness, authentication, and deleterious exploitation
Resultant progress, alienation, loss
Great deserts of black sand
A people’s autumn’s Heliogabaline synonym
Now pale and cursed to wander winter’s rise
At the mercantile endpoint of Endlessness’s eye’s gaze
The vastness of commodification
The absolute fake
Evidence accumulated in whorls of ash
Catalogued and atomized, witnessed with one’s own eyes
Surely we were a flame
