Exposing Earthen Coils

from the album "Across the Styx in a Paper Boat" by Aleppe

Noxious creeping and festering

An excremental horrorscape

Defecation of undergarments

Scrolls of filth adorn the wall

Clinging darkly within the crucible

Tattered textiles lay fouled

A soiling within the cauldron

Permeates the collective


Streaks of scuttle lining the basin

Skids adorn the depths of the bowl

Repeated desecrations of the foul

On the shoulder, tainting the fingertips

An ochre lay beneath the nails

A staining across the parchments

Spotting amidst once white porcelain

Intestinal outpouring smolders and boils


Sorrowful scrapings from the floor

Anonymous tainted offering

Pungent earthen smell of bowels

Odorous, ominous and surrounding

Flatulence and the digestion

Septic cesspool of oblivion

Bathed in deep fetid flora

Cleansing frees us from our fate
