Heart held hands
Or the other way around,
Hand held hearts
Bleeding through
Through bleeding
Bleeding
Through
Bleeding
Flesh
Bone:
Chilled
Chiseled
To your liking
Licking
Spills and
Pills
Morph
Into morphine
Drip
Drop
Rip
To shreds
Reds
Every shade
Fade
A façade-
A web of lies
Flies fussing
Buzzing
Boozing
Losing everything
And
Everyone sucks
Fucks
Dies
Cries
A river
A sliver of
Substance
Willing and
Killing
The child
Mild fever
With
Red skin
Thin face
Pretty lace
Stockings
Mocking
Birds
Singing
Deadly ringing
Church bells
Go to hell
In the fire
Sleep with liars
And poets writing
Writhing
Under a stanza
Standing up
Landing stiff
Off a cliff,
A broken neck.
