distemper
roses are too red
superfluous
violets are too blue
a carnivore magnetism
and horse’s breath
the ravens fled
as well as doves
the remnant frighten
hold loose tongue
powder discharge written in
smoke
end of all conversation
ashes of 1861
painted into halls of decadence
puling and simpering,
this haggard old woman
where doth her pride and
honor go?
into the mouths of vultures
chunks of bloody meat
regurgitated for the young
eat of poison knowledge
tainted

Hell yes, “a carnivore magnetism”….you’re a beast with conjuring images and impressions of something that has such a visceral feel to it I lack the words to give you due accolades. Love it man.
