Diane Hine - Efficient lyrics

Life's preparatory refuge, counting down before fate's deluge, inner sanctum, sacrosanct, the womb. Safe from scavengers marauding, temporary home affording, flickers of awareness time to bloom. Grey nurse shark's twin uteri keep, many embryos in eggs sleep, rouse and hatch with yolks which they consume. Then by blind instinctive nibblings, first and fittest eat their siblings, slaughtered and interred in kindred tomb. Metre-long with eyes unblinking, red-brown freckled, awl teeth plinking, two primed k**ers leave in gushing flume. Hovering in near suspension, worked by swallowed air retention, slow and stealthy, camouflaged, they loom.
