A Black Hotel

Black Hotel
Immortal fear, 
blind rage appears on black rock… 

How does it rise along on a lonely beach?
…an outcrop of the night!

A black hotel looms like inevitable doom 
from the cloudy regions of the stratosphere.

It rises starkly against a crimson sky 
unbroken vertical fields fade to a bloody gloom!

A black house shall rock,
immortal fears shall rule,
blind boys will talk 
of infinite jest and the crones will cry unto your sisters…

The black hotel will reign…
On a dark deserted highway along an infinite beach…

Cooling wind with ice in its entrails 
                                         …cresses onyx hair.

Up ahead in the diminishing distance,
in shimmering heat waves of night 
a lonely light of a black hotel. 

A head grows heavy 
as sight grows dim 
stopping for the night…
Feeling the tic of a cooling engine. 

Its headlights die...

...fade along a lonely stretch
of beach an outcrop of night 
a black hotel looms like inevitable doom 
with rambling endless rooms!

from the cloudy regions of the stratosphere 
it stands starkly against a crimson sky. 

A Black Hotel. 

Something in the doorway;
There are vacant voices echoing in distant corridors,
Deep in a labyrinthine hell.
 
A Black Hotel!

As a Californian highway stretching uncharted
into the night, a mirror of once was... 
feeling the gravity wells...
 
Welcome to this; The Black Hotel!
