The River Opiate

full to bursting with bloodless carcasses
full to bursting with soulless cavities
full to bursting with wandering shades

the current sluggish with clotted ether
bloated rejects float belly up in the filth
of their own decidings
beached boddies on shores howl
crying out for affinity
for connection
exchange

and the beast stirs……

against the current, and now with
weaving unseen thru the pathetic eddies
sniffing out those accursed, those confounded
neer to be seen, but auraic vibes felt
a shudder ripples thru the massed oblivious

a veer to the right, slumberous
oozing unseen towards its game
a touch, so slight, yet the phlegm knows
beyond its outer senses, it knows

now another, and another……the pack hunts

wending their ways amid the groanings
dragging names and discarded offal
their passing an etheric courseway seen
with blind eye's retinal reflections
these indolent tongues unglued in awe
while languous surgings part the sweltry

and the river flows on unseeing……
