Corrupted Mirror​-​Trap

lyrics

On the wall of my study I had diagrams of the bone structure of snakes, with ink spilled atop them to represent the passing of fragmentary consciousness among snakes of different species. There was also a large aquarium where thin wormlike creatures swam within a heavy blue fluid. I could barely make out their organs beneath their skins, where the lack of comprehensible sense-organs suggested the fluid guided the movement of the worm-fish, as opposed to self-propelled locomotion. a small brass plaque beneath the aquarium read 'burrow-fish, eater of days'. Later that day, I saw a mirroring of this organ deficiency when, in the river, I saw the form of a giant fish, who was broad in its middle section and had rows of teeth ringing the outside of its mouth. The form of the giant fish was surrounded with a black cloud, generated by a fluid it oozed from its gills, which seemed to be under the control of the fish, or else it was just a trick of late November river-currents. The form of the giant fish told me if I placed my head into the river, the black cloud would enter me through my nostrils and ears, and thus it would transmit the whole of its knowledge to me. I did so, but the water was contaminated, and now I lack the ability to contemplate the wisdom, which comes upon me in fits, as I flail about the floor, trying to breathe through nonexistent neck-gills. Pour eux, le temps existe a l'etat aboli.
