Fervid Hum (Patreon)

Tripping to the corners

Soft footed

dancing with the long shadows

Away and watching

And ever present over shoulder

Eyes eyes eyes

Omnipresent and overcast

A sinister gaze

The bite of judgement

A gnawing from the inside out

Skittering things that bite and burrow

Behind the eyes of this glass house

Soured and boozy on the tongue

Checking checking checking

Worrying away at failing skin

This weaker vessel

Green boughs bending

Sweating alone by the fireplace

A smoking pan

Sleeping through the lapping flames

Praying, desperate, to a dead line
