Transformation

Skins, heavy in execration, 
Slow, writhing, pregurgitated lies;
Sloughed intricacies of decongestion, 
Swallowed whole, twisting complexities; 

Non-truths, the undigested faeces of 
Necrophytic unconsciousness; 
Nymphallic metamorphosed species,
Now frozen in plagiaristic angst; 

Alone, in erstwhile stupefaction;
Aware of scant primordial drives, 
Appropriate to Cambrian incomprehension, in-
Adequate to prescient lives.

Krawl! Trawl the unencumbered foetus,
Klenched deep in crystalline deformities. 
Krack! Force open Mezolithic detritus,
Kruel fossilised discordancies;

Expunge the seeping putrefaction; 
Excise, exhort, excruciate! 
Emerge, exhume exhilaration; 
Exonerate purgatorial blight!

Fly! Swing high in unashamed elation,
Flagella born to worship flight. 
Flex! Fling out aeons of denigration; 
Free; unchained; soar into light! 

กก

กกI go, naked into the sun.
