Twitching seizing body
Drifting on the surface
Displaying vivacious activity
    
A sign of life, or of distress?
A closer look reveals a grim reality
Ripping and tearing motions, mimicking bodily exertion
An illusion of vitality
    
Lurking in shallow waters
A carnivorous whole
Bound to the depths
As guardians of their domain
    
Reigning with ominous authority
Seeking out the wounded and the sick
To obliterate impurities
Weakness precedes demise
The infirm fall victim to the cleansing
    
A purifying maelstrom
Claiming the flesh
Opening and expanding the wound
To permeate the interior
    
Endowed with devastating potential
Harnessed by nature’s bidding
    
A Loathsome arsenal of lethal incisors
Laying waste to pollutive decay
Anatomy erased within seconds
Body departs prior to consciousness
    
Entity… Dissolving… Entity
    
Stripped down to the foundation
Tissue fragments dispersed within the swarm
Balance restored in their fragile territory
Amazonian rivers now decorated with the scarce remains
    
Reigning with ominous authority
Seeking out the wounded and the sick
To obliterate impurities
Weakness precedes demise
