Within Throat, Within Heart

Witness to atrocious deeds of flesh: the Earth, gulping down the extracts of humanity, swilling the myriad of flowing memories now slowly sinking deep into the writhing throat in the dark Strayed with sorrow, estranged and thrust upon a path that led into subsoil, immersed in lonesome tears, wither now once blooming cheeks … and growing colder is the heart Faded has the eye once friend of grass, heavens and peaks and long like time itself will be the sleep, when Nil her only suitor … and then the spinecrawlers came … Into eye they crept, within throat they linger Wormtrails weaving pictures ever twisting Within heart they fester, straying into cavities anew Many a dreamless mind uniting in image fornenst an embryonic eye, deforming its lineage Neglectikon; a looming vermiform to ensnare the preterm The forsaken to be nursed in curses nigh … and growing stronger is the heart Settling in the dirt; a forlorn bairn beneath no sky, and long like time itself: the inveigling by the eye of Neglectikon, flickering and gleaming with deceit
