scum troughs

dissilient dissident,
malcontent revolteur,

****************************a repetition of mediums seems kind of filthy
*
*
*
*

the couleur of shroud

an ethereal pout

dragging******** twitching
*
*
*
*

From your derelict scum troughs
I am scathing you into a laden halt
begging until it seems common

*
*
*
If you despised their ferocity******** you should not have spelled heretic so beautifully
*
*
*
*
*
*
*
****************************************Barren little concerned ink,
****************************************a well could hardly have defended your fall.
