Expose

a low grumble,

from the room on the corner

at the end of the hall


wailings and mumblings

he says oohh

he says nnoo


for while he slept, 

the roots cut into his chest,

the ones beneath his bed


empty memories flooded his breast

not supported by facts,

nor events,

still yet of eclipsing breadth


whispering of his crimes

burden'd guilt

burden'd guilt

those commit before this life


he wanted to do nothing more

but bury his body

to drill into depth


sockets pull behind lo skull

his throat will swallow itself,


exposing the flesh

exposing the flesh


i don't know

how we'll describe

the feeling itself


but you know,

you must know


the low grumbling cord

coiling round the bone


it'll make you moan,


moan
