Quill, Quahog?

O emptiness of space, thy harpsichords. Whole? Panels out of place, looking-glasses smashed. Bitter winds, thy frost. Sickness, dole, O soul. Chaffy grain beneath the tired thresher slashed. Turmoil, tamarisk tree. Toil? Thunderbolt. Hated are the days of life gone dry. Why? Reality thinned, then forgot how to fly. Happy thoughts, lost. Cost? Harvest season molt. Protection? None. Been and done. Sun? Hostile. Yellow as eyes on a predator? Pill. Alcohol, wormwood, erasure, vile vial. Guns, thy salute. Funeral. Lunge, then still. Ravine, out back and filled with water. Caught. Animals afloat, belly up, life flew. Grey old men, hope is a mystery. Clue? Sparks, burned out and skittering. Fire, cold. Bought. Doom, close in on all. Deliverance? None. Stifled by Fate and Fortune? Withheld. New? Nothing under the sun, scion. Red run. Grasping fingers and a quill, quahog. Brew. Wasteland, receive. Gold, far. Sandbar, choke. Smoke. Poison, leap from serpent's fang. Deeply sunk. Peril, everywhere. Round upward, time. Soak. Continent, beneath water. Ocean, plunk.
