Wednesday is Vismund Cygnus

The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lens. A depth perception languished in the night. All my life I’ve been sewing the wounds but the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud. My nails peel back when the taxidermist ruined goose stepped the freckling impatience. All the brittle tombs, five hundred little q’s. I’m splitting hairs to match the faces. All night long I’ll hunt for you, let me show you what I mean. Now this train don’t lie, an abortion that survived. A lineage of bastard mastication, all the severed proof talons scratch my suite. These are the feathers that replace them. All night I’ll hunt for you, let me show you what I mean. Who do you trust? Will they feed us the womb? Chrome the fetal mirage. Will they feed us the womb? I found the remnants of a crescent fang, it cleaned my wing down to the bone. Umbilical syllables left to decode, there was no cradle. I can taste it, bring me this plague. She took a drink, those nicotine stains on his every word. My scavenger quilt will only hide the truth. Bring me, bring me this plague! I count the days to find what was left behind. Only these names I clutch will lead me to my home. Somehow this river marks a wrinkle hand in mine and everyday that parts the water into two mothers and feathers start to drown the living proof. I can’t remember these lakes of blood wrapped in a blanket. There sweats a cut, who do you trust? Will they feed us the womb? Chrome the fetal mirage. Will they feed us the womb?
