Suffocating, floundering in a mire of self-inflicted stench

The gnawing grind of enamel on quartz without end

Anonymous tongues lolloping beneath the fecal sands of leaden time

Violent scrum of corneal malfunction, the sneer of contrarian eye

The trough sinks beneath the earth

These silt-filled lungs to never purge

Asphyxiation of empathy

Genuflect to blighted idol

Heaving downward on bended knee

Self-bound hands draped around soured straining neck

Salival hymns spill as you begin to gorge again

This void of human congregation

Pushing thresholds to dullest edge

Rotting ring of vitriol

Waste leaks from every wretch

Gorging on bile

Feverishly gorging on bile

And I’m waiting for you all to choke
