Lifetime
As the brush of time paints the day
The ticks devour the week away
With a second coat of minute coloured bristles
We await the moment of hour dismissal.

Deathtime
As the thrush of thyme taints our say. The tics 🕷 devour the weak away. With a second bloat of minute sanguine thistles [tiny fangs].
They sate the moment of our life blood 🩸 drizzle. DIS-ease DIS-please DIS-cover DIS-ceived.
DIS-Miss the Kiss 😘 of Death’s cold 🥶 lips. Spring is here so have no fear for the DIS she is sated & happily mated with your blood 🩸 of yore find a new whore in this hour of power fresh blood doth discover.
For death is life & life is death 💀. The double coin is your DISTRESS.
Twetch word limit is really cramping my poetry.
