Radon Rattling

Long ago...

your tongue
trickled with treacle.
Soothing souls
with sweetness.

Then...

message mutated
madness infused
raspy radon rattling.

Your bitter breath
became crudely cloying
laced with aroma of almonds.

    I thought this ended well. Your talent shines through in all that you write. I haven't read anything of yours that I haven't liked!
