unravelings

A navel veil,

             A grave Nile,

A vile vale unveils.


             "Unravels

Unreal

             Unnerving,"

Leaving gangs rave.

              Engrave alive

A gun avails.


Evils lie,

               Giving leave

Singing,

                  "Sang

                                Sung,

                  "Sang

                                Sung."


Level silver,

           Leaving leas,

Salvia vessels revel

           Grieving selves.
