Io
By Feral
Slime mould dressed
Fuligo septica
gelatinous, wet suffocation;
Io besmirched.
plasmodial egg yolk
Argus filth
thousand-eyed nuclei;
rotten hydrogen sulfide.
Spore fluted slumber
beheaded guardsman
primordial mythic ooze;
ocelli peacock placed.
Necrotic temenos
sightless; bulbous white
gadfly; wanderer set.

i actually have a poem with 'slime mold dressing gown' in it, to express the false beauty of a judge of christ. The name says much of this piece and ties it all together. Interesting that you interweve the fuligo, the tabanid and the She, the Io, whose grandfather plays upon filth as if he is wrong, as if you know something of him that i don't. What is this? Fascinating. Each trail you leave i follow to the most unsuspecting places.

Disgusting poem, but creatively disgusting...even...beautifully disgusting if that can make any sense... I see why this is the poem of the day.
