cheap-day excretion - marination

by Laura Doom

...
glimmering
	shimmering
		guttersperm spawning depravity's germ
  glistening
	  glittering
		sterilization's too good for this worm

      The septic sea sighs
      at a silhouette's cries
     releasing a sequence of binary streams

     the lie decompresses
   low life coalesces
  revealing, in series, identical dreams

I'd give...	nectar spiked with grief
		pain with no relief
		null is our need, maleficent creed, a mantra embodying greed, greed, greed

		nothing to give
I'd give...	lovers to live
I'd give everyone up
		for my time on parole
		make me an offer, I'll sell you my soul

 The code currents flow
  through the programmer's show
   in ciphered secretions, the keepsakes of peace

    The cortex is beckoned
     deployed, filed and reckoned
     a matrix of violence dot comrades release

     We'll take everything
		pleasure in pain
		rhetorical queries transacted in vain

     tight fingertips trace
    a self-satisfied face
   returning the call of a waterwake swirl

   A null vector ride
  on the matrical slide
  all along the grey mile beta blossoms unfurl

 savouring
	slavering
		cellular siblings in servitude sing
 swallowing
	wallowing
		world-wearied waterborne virus we bring

the wake is watching over me
a travesty of fire beneath the sybaritic sea...

Articulate storm of words that pound the shores of consciousness. Unique and intriguing word choices! Turmoil..... oh by the way, how much were you selling your soul for?

lovely. really. and although the language sometimes made me stop to search my own rusty memory, when it came to me it was that much better. hard to read, but worth it when you're through. as a whole, the rhyme, when present was well constructed. an odd scheme that i loved when i read it.
