Cosmic Severance

cracking of
a cosmic egg
birthing chaos

embryo's life
generating from
a corpse back into a corpse

dying breath
ex nihilo
from nothing

dimensionless void
muddy disorder
evil oblivion

world parent
separating and splitting
primeval entity

dismembered
limbs hair blood
bones and organs

rock and roll myth
of the ages
cosmic octaves resonate

buddy holly
black framed famer
that'll be the day

took its title
from a line of john wayne's character
1956 film the searchers

the crickets
mourn not fade away
plane crash fiery fate

cosmic severance
overdubbed recording
hit a brick wall

walk of
fame buddy
waylon and the firebrand
