I writhe Serpentine Slither into your mind's farthest reach,
A little corner of hell.
Endhouse with a backyard that served as an execution chamber.
Pets drown in their cages.
Across the street backyards dropped to an alleyway.
Compost twist the guts into knots.
Feel the roll,
Expect the coil to anchor me to the spot.
Praise be this mortal wreckage
Beyond salvage or repair I am he who lurks invisible in twilight hours
Revel in anonymity I am he who lurks invisible¡K
A requiem stirring from a distant past of a childhood torturer
Pulling wings off bluebottles of hornets in water filled jars attention to the present moment standing on a concrete carapace smothering the soil
Where quiet is kept where truth will hold buried and moldering
Quiet kept truth will hold all memory locked beneath the stone¡K
Nothing ever is forgotten thrives in neglect
Emotionless
Disconnected¡K
Complex tangles of thought twist and turn
Caught in the coils
Sense piercing bone scraping hurt
Surging endorphins firing ephemeral euphoria
Wracked by a chorus of ascendant rattling throes
Wild-eyed, leaden weight mute acknowledgement
Unconditional relinquishing¡K
Rapt concentration
Auguring open wounds
It¡¦s so easy to paint a smile and borrow time on a lie¡K
Pile them high on the embers
Soot and ash strafe the sky
I¡¦ll feed the fire and grind the bellows¡K
Glimpse tiny stabs of sudden motion
Spatters and splotches across the baseboards
Removed in scabrous formations
Quicksilver bends and breaks
Quivers as a living thing
Overhead a jet¡¦s billowing signature creases the azure
Power lines twitch beneath hollow ¡V boned weight
Hail hits asphalt with a spark
Footsteps echo around every corner
Knuckles are tensing white¡K
Plague ridden anxiety driven
Tempest torn
Bated breath entitled to less
None of those years were kind
Head in hands
Amass primal elements
Totem bound in twine
Ophidian sinuous movement
Sidewinder resplendency
