Analysis of [ Lindwyrm ]
Pull us apart,
Our sinew snaps oh so satisfying
The art of what it takes to break a soul fills our head in neat lines of text:
- - -[ Deprivation isolation - festering festering ]
System communication limited to minimum input:
[ Walk: ] Do. Not. Falter
[ Observe: ] bruised open wounds seeping generational eulogies to the pavement
\ Exhale \
Watch us come back together again.
/ Again /
We coil over ourselves - thrumming golden; secure.
