Omer 26 - Murex
hod of netzach
The spiraling, circling spines curling in on itself
in reflection of hostile company, cruel world,
near taking away operculum’s necessity.
The predatory carnivore predated upon
for sustenance and dye.
From base viscous mucus to holy relic,
turning blue and purple for our wonder
of beauty in morbid origin.
It trundles along, hunts along, lives along.
The seams of fronds steadily expands
over slow progression from aperture
to keep calm growth
as the murex fulfills its reason:
to live.
