Appendix: The Ruin of the Bestiality Legends
    
The relic text opening to retrace into the tightly ideated 
psychosomatic union, the horrible gemination, singing 
standards as blood-eye icons confluent to preside upon 
twinbirth, prayer for these half hearts ill gaping, rose 
aster emitter to twine cordial in heir-blood coexistence and 
writhe in sealing the virgin sores (clad for worn), rotating 
snare mantras in an ordered rhythm.     
Upon the Lord Sebaoth scull the keyscale script to 
coordinate the fratricide theory, the man against himself in 
clone colonies addicted to gored blood.     
Gilt silhouette: long legged birds of marshes, twin pelicans 
to pierce their breasts.
