common fly reading a book all the plants in line
a commensal of humans the day segues to flora and fauna
we weep in dark places Lavandula angustifolia
an angel’s kiss birthmark a Hollyhock Blacknight sucks in its dusk
the green eye from the side of my nose
bad praxis a yawn an Oculus of caterwauling
blink slowly the Jellicle cat is stealthy as a footpad
the many curves and turns of its grammar ^>(|).(|)<^
night segues to a van of white paint

‘Mordre wol out’ aka ‘murder will out’ as in it will be discovered, is an idiom traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Nun’s Priest’s Tale, part of his 14th century Canterbury Tales. Zombies frequent supermarkets and other places best avoided during the plague or apocalypse.
