Lash't

There is a smogbotten in the peace prawn brain –

come smather me.

Sials smetten at the tilt; what hope

otherwise?

Seas blither, only foresteigners tamed.

None can belong.

Belonging is apt outlawed lowsession.

We badd to it or else

die silenting and silenting,

one endless lung

in the Howl's rot crew.

Frow a seamless grace: plead

or relent.

It is fully growns suckle.

The wise withering.

Their words deadcracked upon

flintbed doths.

Hush my standerers!

Sit upon your reflections.

Only the waves

drow now.
