Pathogen deliver
the shores of cryptic hurt are open
this havoc wave is shinning
bright as a button

caustic dreamer waken me
with deliriums boot
tell me Im next upon the wall
the wretched nest to shoot

courage kiss you lent me your
letters from burlap and hemp
the steamers bound
the cargo heaped

color on your cheeks
and now I can feel the
turning of the worm beneath
the fire of the ravaged sky
this fever swarm behind
my eyes

and

the terror of this blue
clear sky

I have felt this! How your world can turn in a mere moment. Fantastic write!

usually the way most poisons do work
on humans
gas form also
displace oxygen for the most

sometimes its just something inside
that wakes up one day
the ordinary horror of the ordinary
and then A vista of madness

horrific and beautiful all in one
