Shelf Spook

slips

down and

mangles

the brains of newborn

mantises

in the grasses

asleep.

Shelf Spook slips

down to feed

brains

of newborn mantises

in the grasses

asleep with his

own divine

parasite.

Shelf Spook slips down

off the shelf

& waters the brains

of the newborn mantises

in the grasses

asleep

with his

own corrosive

waters,

ensuring they sleep

in the grasses

evermore
