A Kingdom of Cortisol

The lotus wilts; a surrendered bow to the profane endurance

A labored lungful of acidic heft after another

The pneuma contemplates, a parable glimmers in abscission

And the vestige of harmony dims, centered in a kingdom of cortisol

Synaptic pangs compound

One labored lungful after another

Sylphs become specters at the innermost

As the vestige of harmony dims, centered in a kingdom of cortisol
