Ganest Left a Haunting Poem on His Instagram Account Shortly Before His Death
“Lo we howl upon stars hung above, we soul cast down the well of stone, as fire laid betwixt two fates, of most drear less dire straights, each breath cuts ice as flesh is weighed, in front of deaths old narrow gates, where bold and brazen last rites crate,” the poem reads. “Lo heed our wish of madness, deep from os, our prayers we kissed, so stern and cold, on metal shells, release by moonlight glow.”
