Rot
Aligned with
But flora. But which flora
consumes flesh in a detritivorous manner?
Do florae possess a destiny to conquer?
Ebeneous upon thy damp walls, I
flourish with the absence of light;
growing, rapidly, I poison the air, thy lungs.
Hiant: An
insidious black hole, oozing pus of
jaundice yellow. Born with a
kismet to devour; a promise, to
labefactate. I am the
maggotorium, upon thy walls.
Necrotic fester: I am drawn to thine
olid corpse. Thy decay comprise my
pabulum; thy neck, I
querken, and siphon thy final breath.
Rot, ancient and archaic; forever, I have
spread and festered.
The difference between flora and fauna;
ubiquitously, is it not the
visceral kismet to grow versus conquer?
What if, perhaps, I am neither? Rather a
xenogeneic disease upon flora and fauna?
Yenning for thy demise; a kismet to rot.
Zealot: Phthisis’ disciple.
