The Hexagon

Hopeful hum the hive’s hymns
While honey drips from Mother’s limbs
Six walls sequestering
The lacerated crown atop her servant
Tiny wings thundering silently
In service to his lifeless queen
Vision vivisected in a thousand directions
But his eyes could see only her
The killing light floods in
As he trusts in his crumbing home
But neither his steadfast devotion
Nor her imploding womb
could save him
Gold glimmers the crystalline exoskeleton
Still faithful sings the swarm
Each abandoned by their purpose,
Remain upright in the fervor of their work
Still the time and the dust bear down
Six legs point to the sky
Crumpled over his trembling thorax
Three crosses mark his hollow martyrdom
Apostate brothers
Die among the flowers
With the sweetness of her tribute still on their arms
While he in the hexagonal house of his maker
He in the hexagonal house of his maker
dies the same

A putrid gleaming betrays the weave
the fabric of matter
between the earth and me

Suffocate us
and always we return
Lend yourself to us
surrender to the swarm
The rumor wind,
Calm and copacetic
epitaph my repulsion
instinctual avulsion
Embrace Empathetic
This enclave is breathing
whole entity entwined
lies that I once believed
When I saw only torment and smoke
If you die here, you’ll be
forever forgotten
When seeped into the
trees, You will feed our young
Rejuvenate us
After all life has learned
Watch the way it was
Crumble with time unborn
The carcass wood
Spells the forest’s way
indifferent skin
wisdom wearing thin
Roots my feet in place
What is it about them
that beckons softly
our fraught condemnation
When knowledge changes like seasons
If you return to your
own, You will be erased
They will not, they cannot
Listen. They spend their end in reminiscence
Seethe. Become.
We are everywhere
Breathe inside
this rotten hollow
Do they indulge like us?
(Vagrant, embrace the swarm)
Like the clockwork I left behind
(Take on your shameless form)
Millennia with moments to go
(Before you are reborn…)

Aterrima Boise, Idaho
Seeks to provide honest commentary on the relationship between humanity and the natural
world.
This manifests in a fraught musical experience, as passages of calculated chaos, cerebral eccentricity and consonant serenity intertwine to create Aterrima’s distinctive form of blackened death metal.
