spin me a tale

1 min


spin me a tale (of blood and more)

a tale of sin (of pain and gore)

of sin regale(introspect)

regale a tale(retrospect)

a tale to pale (intro… vert?)

to pale the face (extra…vert)

the face of all (start a start)

all who read (in the fall)

who read it all (stand tall)

all who read (daren’t fall)

who read and fall (the pall, the bearer)

fall entranced (err-antic exoteric retraction)

entranced, silenced (esoteric extraction)

silenced and chilled (forward momentum)

chilled to their heart (remember colostrum?)

their heart as it beat (the heat, the energy)

as it beats err-antic (the cold, the atrophy)

err-attic and tragic (the fear, the entropy)

tragic dark magic (the tear, the catastrophe)

dark magic, pelagic

pelagic, seaward dram-a-tic

*

dive d e e pdown, dive d e e pdown

dive and d r o w n, d r o w n in sorr-ow

d r o w n in woe, as eyes of blue

surr-ound you, terr-or asunder

dark the wonder, if your breath

is your last, if your heart

beats its last, carve

yes, carve your, innermost…

everything, on your carcass

as you float down, and are caught d e e pdown

your testimony, your obituary
