Chapter 2

Ten: I; kōaḥ

Follow me tonight, listen to me.

It's calling.

Under a dark crescent.

I waited so long; if you could see where I've been. What is the cost?

Pour me visions of Epinoia, inhale.

Waiting for clarity.

Shake dice below the lapping flames of my hunger.

Intentions

Nine of her parts

Seven doors

Sixteen and chained to a leash

Pray for an end to this

Eighteen holes

Stolen five of her parts

Thirteenth Age

Scattering the parts

Reach inside that needy nous

Reaching, reaching

Burn those needy words

Before you write, I have found something; listen

Are you listening?

She stokes the flames

Two more substances, spill wet ink

Presence begs breakdown

Bark rolls into a pit-nous

Two split convergence

Twenty-eight rolls the dice

I'll be there waiting

kōaḥ
