Those in stable domiciliary settings unknowingly draw
in the flavor of succorant drafts. When the first family
dwindles, one is sealed without a ménage; unfailingly,
one becomes dorsum of other extractions.
Searching sachets that complete the accursed seeks hum
of a home in dinginess of dives or the recess of reason.
Some encourage meth or miniatures from Lethe to slake
low-spirited sessions.
