Intermediaries

Emissaries flanking
The sacrifice
Its contorted visage
Inlaid into
The aqueduct
Traversed by
The fluids of righteousness

Corroding the walls
Carving cavities
GATEWAYS
Into dreaded realms
Slowly distilled
By silt, bone, and vellum

Miles away from salvation and grace
It drips from the snouts
Of the most inquisitive of beasts
Its digestion mediated by none

Robes suffocating cobblestone
Banners of decadence
Obscuring distributaries
Water flowing out
Unseen from the riverbank

Satiated of all desire
Beasts burrow through
Rock, then wire
To the other side
