Mercurial

from Shibboleth by Ophiuchi

/

lyrics

behold
the fools of old
the anointed
the low
all wisps of the below

trench fills up.
a mother drinks
and I become
her son
with foreign seeds
in foreign soil
and a stranger’s hand
behind a curtain of my own

behold
apparatus unfolds
insectoid man
and larvael bloom
moulting chins
forcep limbs
and spiracles.

fold,
the void around a mould
proto-men with
sets of two
doppler screams,
a terminus

same hands that grasp
same lungs that breathe
same tongues that lick
same smokestack end,
old pine box friend

lower
lower still.
