The solution of acceptance here is both sickening, and necessary. Really one of your top 5 poems ever, imo.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-62473868097859209192017-09-01T02:37:37.088-04:002017-09-01T02:37:37.088-04:00striking imagery - i just threw up in my mouth.

He is legion, and it is himself he devours, not you" makes one aware of the danger that lurks.
