The seniors of Salem 

Wouldn't quite stop screaming 

As a million voices 

Seemed to come out of her 

Head at once with a glow 

I didn't know what to 

Do, so I sat on her 

She told me, in all of 

Her thousands of dark tones

To make use of myself

And stop crushing her bones 

But I did not so stop 

She felt nice to sit on 

So when she said no more

And couldn't go on, why  

I let out a smile 

Making myself at home 

In her longer ribcage

The voices were gone now 

They stopped muttering things

That's splendid, I figured

I just needed to make

Homes inside the dead spleen.
