Mammonites

Words, worms, and work

A disease of the nouns
Surveying treasures like a dragon

All lives being lived backward
The whereabouts of your fortune
Dissolved quietly in the belly of a falcon
Screaming curses into quicksand
A song that lures you into tall grass, and you vanish
Limping out of frame

Words, worms, and work

Losing your arm in front of a crowd
The most poisoned faces in the world
The most poisoned faces in the world
Vanishing birds, shivering men

All this toil for all these coins
And then you buy cereal and a couch
But the couch is a scar

Words, worms, and work
