Floating engulfed in penny light the coppery-brine amalgamation penetrates my mouth swallowing viscous globe of blood-riddled *** the shards of shell spines split by the tide echo my sentiments current eschews shallow alluvial grave cognizant cicumvolution ambient gyre diffuses carapace shrapnel into my calves gulls enigmatically screech-stripped slap briny padded patterns into the shoreline pausing only upon my primal glottal stop toes curl about inundated sand clouting divets shift dilatory run – slammed inert by invariable wave cochineal effluvium plumes lilt crepuscular rays refract further distortions Neath the water I blindly ***** my body Ridged projections jut from smoothed flesh Puckering at my own touch I sink beneath atmosphere liquescent folds embrace promptly I drop beneath chaos Bare palm dig into viscid terrain rung after rung demanding presence into the depths I claw forth onto a sand bar emerging shard flanked form eyes blazing cuticles numb pulse flit patina of blood and grit Fulgent tread propels Upon shore I walk back to my residence A warrior - mortal plated in copper and brine

Tale of My Armor
Floating engulfed in penny light the coppery-brine amalgamation penetrates my mouth swallowing viscous globe of blood-riddled *** the shards of shell spines split by the tide echo my sentiments current eschews shallow alluvial grave cognizant cicumvolution ambient gyre diffuses carapace shrapnel into my calves gulls enigmatically screech-stripped slap briny padded patterns into the shoreline pausing only upon my primal glottal stop toes curl about inundated sand clouting divets shift dilatory run – slammed inert by invariable wave cochineal effluvium plumes lilt crepuscular rays refract further distortions Neath the water I blindly ***** my body Ridged projections jut from smoothed flesh Puckering at my own touch I sink beneath atmosphere liquescent folds embrace promptly I drop beneath chaos Bare palm dig into viscid terrain rung after rung demanding presence into the depths I claw forth onto a sand bar emerging shard flanked form eyes blazing cuticles numb pulse flit patina of blood and grit Fulgent tread propels Upon shore I walk back to my residence A warrior - mortal plated in copper and brine
