spreading for an end
beyond the act of spreading
what can't be spread
greyed out moisture
in amorphous kingdoms
bleeds down form
contoured at first and
with the passing of countless centuries
deeply woven into itself
serrated gradation
in stages of withering
until tucked out of sight
coddled brightly
in rows of quiet
radiating wombs
lonely bitter monkey
crowned king of self-loathing
gnaws off a big hunk
