• Addled

  Missing limbs mark lucky ones, their seen scars pitied on Beloved not ye inner marked, who a dog wouldn’t piss on Scarred ear to arse within A once lucid mind o’er frissoned by insistent melee Becomes a self imprisoner Every second leaf is a poisoner Poison oaked asses in medbay Fingers crossed round marlboros Crossed…
