swish

[dragonfell]

swish.
swill of swollen lies and putresence.
i'm touching filth.
arn't we all bathing in it?

taste the grime.
its inside,
every crevice is coated with dirth
and even the young slow under this oppression.

one thing saves me.
a glimmer between moments.
someone that says,
forget about the better day,
just remember how to survive today.

took a few deep breaths.
poluted minds break through,
grasp onto them as they try to take you.
remember when things were something else,
once this was a place of life,
before the tainted.

purity.
a loss of words
before something that washes away
the crusted husk of dead things
and stuffs them into forgotten tombs.

swish.
wash on wash off they say.
start anew.
