Day and night a monstrous stomach wriggles in his bloated belly ******* up the unblossomed laughter ******* up the teardrops that moisten a mother’s heart ******* up the meager flesh under his wrinkled skin ******* up the indifference in his eyes and eventually ******* up from his open mouth a ghastly cry which we take for soundless but is in fact at a pitch well beyond the limit of our comprehension

Day and night a monstrous stomach wriggles in his bloated belly ******* up the unblossomed laughter ******* up the teardrops that moisten a mother’s heart ******* up the meager flesh under his wrinkled skin ******* up the indifference in his eyes and eventually ******* up from his open mouth a ghastly cry which we take for soundless but is in fact at a pitch well beyond the limit of our comprehension
