Verdigrrave - Choke On The Rootwretch

Buried in bile… beneath the barkskin womb… ⸻ Gutted by vines with septic thorns Tongue sewn shut by fungal swarms Skin sloughs off in blackened moss Fed to the filth where the insects floss Coughing dirt through my shattered jaw Sap-worms gurgle in gastric draw ⸻ Choke on the rootwretch, spew the spores! Spit blood in the earth’s raw sores Split skull mulch for the creeping green Worship rot where the maggots wean ⸻ Veins burst thick with swamp-born bile My marrow leaks into the reptile smile Crushed by bark with bastard breath I suck the moldmilk of living death Burrowed by beetles that whisper lies Lungs collapse with roach-filled cries Nature’s gift: a bloated tomb Fecund with pusflowers in perpetual bloom ⸻ Choke on the rootwretch, spew the spores! Spit blood in the earth’s raw sores Split skull mulch for the creeping green Worship rot where the maggots wean ⸻ Let me be swallowed by the lichen tongue… Let me be split by the thorn of the sun… There is no peace in the green… only hunger.
