Sacrificial Bond

the bubbling bleat of a slit throat goat its waning heartbeat drips and drones with the heated thrum of jugular hum soul distorted, unborn, aborted. lungs expand and collapse in unison the pan and cage adjourn their union yet an orgy of the senses progresses orchestral symphony within symmetry. a mistaken mosaic of wounded shapes connected by drooling ichor, grey bile, belly heaving with ungodly burden darkens with seeping rot, film of filth, hanging tongue too stiff to catch the drip that falls from the mirror below this gift, still anoints its brother’s broken bones in perfect ruin, the sacrificial bond.
