Bistre (or bister) is either: 1) A shade of gray, 2) A shade of brown made from soot, and 3) The name for a color resembling the pigment. Bistre's appearance is generally of a dark grayish brown, with a yellowish cast.
Beechwood was burned to produce the soot, which was boiled and diluted with water. Many Old Masters used bistre as the ink for their drawings.
Of decerned lip
Disease into perfection
Spoiling human stomach
Vomit onto life, vomit onto her
Vomit to a point of my jaw unhinging.
"Collapse your simple neck."
Her body grows infection
"Please, don't let me go..."
The limbs would politely whimper, vomit onto her
