Not a face Just an open eye What’s that swell beneath the floor? Every prayer you ever swore “Take my fear” — it feeds “Take my pain” — it breeds You thought “salvation” meant escape But the gate was a hungry shape Every chant Every vow Every broken shout Pours into it Pours into it Building it out Welcome to the forbidden hour (process, process) Where the real thing rots under painted flowers (higher, higher) Every scream is a seed in the dark earth turning You won’t die here You’ll just feel something learning Procession ends But the hour stays open It wears your voice Like a new token
