Much Like Cagliostro, I

used alchemy to change into a cute girl
annoying &
always talking about it

like black earth putrefied in
a little cup upon death &
filtered up as through a sieve

piss & shit &
awful gore o
i can’t i won’t look

remember when I read those books
on the aurum potabile and found
it was mostly old men drinking urine
(I’m referring to anime)
(I do not remember how
to shut up atm)

I’ll never forget. I’ll never forget it
I too am become specially super rare, small en-
gulfed in serpents and a perfect medicine
for all humours
