Tapping, talking,
gurgling, gargling,
song of metal
chokes drownspout
outside bedroom window,
(chamber door, nevermore)
Tincture of Torture,
bored of boarding,
time for hoarding.
Life lifeblood
swells in flood,
tanks banks,
escapes flanks,
arises from bed.
See? Babbling brook
the land has took!
scathing bathing is
impersonal laving.
Make the people clean.
