Laki from Woven by UPHOLSTERY

the dark bitter haze arrived in late
spring and stayed
spring and stayed

dull and indifferent the ash settles thick on the ground
a guest most unwelcome came in the
night and stayed
night and stayed

i saw fountains of fire
babes splayed on the funeral pyre
heard them cry
do not drink from the parrish well

livestock strewn
the earth but a gaping wound
the corpses their throats cry out
do not drink from the parrish well

lo the ashen tongues
feel the blackened lungs
now we gather Huddle together
do not drink from the parrish well

i awoke and the sun rose
on the wrong side
sun blotted out, tongues falling out
