as the eviscerated fish fries in its milt
so too i self-immolate in feculent guilt
my thoughts are sharper than a castrating knife
looking to cradle song to pity my lawless life
hush, little baby, don’t say a word
you’ll die soon enough, and shame ungird
just look at yourself one last time
as you flop and gasp before your last crime
as the desiccated slug becomes shriveled and pruned
so too i rub salt into this black pudding wound
my memories are more bitter than jesuit’s bark
looking to burial song to absolve myself in the dark
cry, little baby, let everyone hear
you’ll rot soon enough, in soil and fear
just look at yourself one last time
as you drop and rasp after your last crime

unbolt me 
Seems like Tati pulled it out of her happy memories. I might sing myself to sleep with this song.

I’d love to be able to provide something constructive as feedback but outside of “I love the gluey, gooey, cold and dead imagery” all I can say is that THIS IS FANTASTIC. Love it. Absolutely love it.
