Man

.....and even as the eagle soared above the rocky slopes, the tortoise encaged in its talons, the petals encaged in the jaws of the reptile, so a young naturalist ran forwards - last of his kind, taxidermy on his mind.............. The stricken eagle fell amongst a drift of feathers and petals, releasing the scaled misile from its grasp and joining all four together in death upon the shoulder of the mountain. Man Cracked my head, in single strike as I ran forward in earnest haste to collect my prized, beloved bird shot clean through and through to find its ordered home amongst museum draws and taxiderma tologists contortioning your dark and burning eyes become vitrified and shattered my cranium in blow un seen as from the sky a lilac flower fell, my leaden body sliding to the ground in avalanche of crushed ambitions here, upon a scree slope inverted hopes discovery and erudition science through observation keen, the bullet of my eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ https://oceanallover.bandcamp.com/album/orographic Buy our music on Bandcamp and help us to bring you more stories and music.
