Analysis of towards the glass -- half overgrown --
towards the glass -- half overgrown --
it had brought lots of baby-shells
behind the glass -- a face to front --
two alligators pressed themselves
the dark was like a sarcophagus --
rolled up -- as a twisted fancy loaf --
its giant paw was aimly focused
on -- her female shoulder -- fond and soft
the shells were passing away from there
-- some strange affinity -- they had --
a force of current -- blind and fair --
and nothing more -- on either hand --
