Achlys

 deep deep  
in the  
in the inner inner  
cauldron of self  
one can hear weeping  
it is Achlys  
daughter of Nyx  
 
pale emaciated  
her razor teeth chattering  
over pomegranate tongue saliva  
elongated mottled nails like shears  
etch a wooden table  
and sever small rodents  
for nourishment  
 
dismal girl with swollen knees  
thick dust upon her shoulders  
her nostril's dripping  
like drenched grass  
demons concealment veiled  
yet her scut barely hidden  
 
while attraction remains  
the fabric of existence  
the sacramental bed of Christianity  
carries the fear of authenticity  
the aperture of sex betrayed  
by girded loins  
 
renders self a darkened hollow  
incomplete and hypocrite  
absent of beauties gift  
a pink light bleeding  
daughter  
of the night
