Contamination

Numbness
Throttling in the blackened river of time and insane
Swallowed again
Drown again and deranged

Parasites and a metallic green odor
So full, the emptiness
Aimless

Withered scales decorate its skin
And its falling away

Parasites and a metallic green odor
So full, the emptiness

Twist and writhe
Serpentine treason and peril
Thrust down the kill, its eyes gaze animus
Are again as before
Dead except the eyes
Treason and peril
