Poetry is an orphan of silence. The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

“Loose Cipher “| 022620222105

Tipped, off

Nervous ticks talk on

Top of the scoff

Your cough should’ve covered

~666 mil scythe sics

‘Til all are still, sick

So you slip on

Sloppy whisper licks,

Trip over the water walk

Only one foot sticks to;

Fall before the

After thought you fought

Against, its false instincts

Then all the sins you

Dip into flip over

The wishes you’ve

Since shipped, so

Rowing through even the

Thickest skins, odds are

Your holy boat is drinkin’

Spilled Styx drips

But if you’re quick, you’ll

Sip it up ‘fore your

Fishes sink, or fill

It in with selfish plugs

And through Devilish,

Loose-cipher quips

As if Lucifer itself

Is listening in...

Well... Holy Hell...

Then isn’t it?
