---

A pestiferous lesion endlessly draining

as mouths open and close.

Its runoff nourishes

this world, devoid of reason.

Imbibing toxicity,

the bile sustains.

Wagging tongues drip with desperation,

as they attempt to form words of absolution

Hymns of feckless cowards.

The bile sustains.

The bile sustains my indignation.

The abscess is drained.

Its venomous nectar

has found its new home within me.

The bile sustains

Tiring fatalism

consumes all that surrounds me.

The illusory skein unravels

though they choose not to see.

I resist the urge to give in,

but I am too weak

The abscess is drained.

Its venomous nectar

has found its new home.

Within me, the bile is sustained.

An incessant drone

compels me towards contempt.
