Phthisis

Inter suspicions of a belief in swallowing Earth,
contemptuous with utter devotion;
a slave to what once was.
Swirling dark ocean,
of phthisis
in pain;
sick.
End days
of phthisis,
absence crawling back;
a slave to what once was.
Maliciousness with that purpose to
enter punishment in an afterlife that forgot Earth.

Critiques are welcome, as well as your thoughts on the piece. 1
