"Oral Wars"

slather the use
hence

with ersatz vicissitude faction

trenchant to know scholarly amalgam
of languish observation
following upon
and though which festoons

you do let lapse from
would make a find abscond
the delve zeal

did it rue so

then i gild
in taut fusillade
than soon after
will spurn as din
they could feel
or why gall roils
on arid beauty
domicile
of never lair
