                                                    To describe my passion for picking letters
                                                    Shan't grant me absolution from their fetters

                                                    My bile is the crumbling tower of babel
                                                    My bite beguiles-  you listen to my babble

                                                    Some souls are like spindles that have senses sown
                                                    Others are quilts of burnt lungs and finger bones

This is great :D my favorite line would have to be 'My bile is the crumbling tower of babel' it just feels 'right' to say that line aloud. Again fantastic work.
