Sulphur

Sulphur can be found as the pure chemical element and as sulfide and sulfate minerals. It is an essential element for life and in nonscientific contexts, it can also be referred to as brimstone.

you are dead and wasted
in this  the arc of shelter
be like the sulphur
and leave an aftertaste

dead on the ground..
the chest rises
mourn doth the sky..
the chest falls

pray to the clouds..
the fragile murmur
the soft wind bloweth..
the petal falls

flail like the hammer..
as it beateth
chills on the neck..
death rattle, it takes you

down, down to the trod--den
beneath the watershed
down, down to the ear---th
beneath us all

down, down to the trod---den
beneath the sulphur
down, down to the co---re
beneath us, breaking us all

you- are -no -diffe-rent- than- she..
com-pose- you-rself, rot-ting- in- front- of- me
so- cold- on -this- warm-est- of- days..
ben-ding -of -will,- we- pray- to -re-main

to remain!, where we want!
to remain!, where we are!
to remain!, what we were!

to be who you are,as you were,what you like,how you want,how it was

not
de-
com-
pos-
ing
and
be-
ing
mourned!
