The festering of the Strange-tailed Tyrant

Vulnerable despite the high grasslands
pink and orange gloss open fire
black and white and grey bottomless serpentine skyline
habitat grieving and robbed by the most dangerous prey
statutes of the larger ilk fall and cannot help but fall on us
where no passive echo does dismiss the radical patient
extirpating circumstances will take us both
the muddy passages of troubled will
where mountains sink into swallowed air
