unrecognisable

The heart beats the sludge through the body

while the mind waits to collect more subsistence

feeding and gorging itself

Always wanting more, because it's never full

 

It's not sludge that the heart beats

It's anger, constant anger, just pushing through the body

the mind sits feeding and gorging itself

not realising that it's become something ugly and unrecognisable
