Purple Guillotine
I sold cloth made of
Purple
And in return I ate
Snails for dinner
And when I shucked the snails' shells,
Their blood begun to ooze way,
Slowly like the remainders of a
Phoenix ashes,
As the purple which clotted from their
Blood,
Become overthrown for its wrongdoing,
And the purple heads of the snail's
Clotted blood
Were sentenced to death
For treason against humanity
So their heads were sliced
Clean off,
Finely in julienne strips,
As their heads rolled on the board
Like dice
And placed in a finely weaved basket
Screeching from the reed's chokehold
As the blood of the snails' shell heads
Were freshly sliced
From the courtesy of a punishing deli
Known as the finely sold in royal supply,
Purple guillotine
