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.
