primordial echos whisper softly into its own awkward silences

Shell no. I:
I chew on your harmonious insides
Spit
Unraveling, untangling
Web
Stuck and squirming
Like worms in the brain
Burrowing, Burrowing,
Burrowing beneath the surface
The sun felt soft today
And I’m
Stuck under
Among the muck
On a littered westbound parkway
Roving
Oh shit a
Mini skirt
I wade between lanes
Fishing
You feed me your bait
Under a porous sky
Tongue like a catchfly
Perennial mischief like a mazy bull’s-eye
I’m fine, how’s the drive?
I wasn’t able to survive the swan-dive
I chew on your harmonious insides
Spit
Unraveling, untangling
Web
Stuck and squirming
Like worms in the brain
Burrowing, Burrowing,
Burrowing beneath the surface
The sun felt soft today
And I’m
Stuck under
Among the muck
On a littered westbound parkway
Roving
Oh shit a
Mini skirt
I wade between lanes
Fishing
You feed me your bait
Under a porous sky
Tongue like a catchfly
Perennial mischief like a mazy bull’s-eye
I’m fine, how’s the drive?
I wasn’t able to survive the swan-dive
Bottomless pit
Sucking the cherry
Bad car, bad debt
Led by the siren's moan
Burying and burying
I met my soul
In the boundless prairie
Growing mold
Ticks fucking
Swallow me whole (swallow me whole)
You have violated your last parole
A Camouflaging anole
Come back
Close enough
Let me taste you
Time is expiring here
It’s milking my broken bones
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary
Panties bunching with melancholy
Soaked by the river and fire smoke
Burning and burning
Swallow me whole (swallow me whole)
Choke.
