No-one survives such an attack
and we all stood like
monuments
baring the nails in her back
Still moving sinews
in a graceful impression of life
shyly the arms, shyly the
breasts
fold fear die
Ten fingers driven
through the heart, through the core
as I stare into those strange, magnetic
eyes
and wonder: (for you / me)
are there demons there?
I knew it all the time. The misanthropes
were right to crucify
themselves in the
need of a saviour. Still moving sinews
struggle fearsome with a lifeline forlorn,
caught in the nest of the
impending dark fate.
Semi-worlds, lifetight lodges
where faces stiffen,
plagued with the frost of disease
Our capsules
barely meet
The worms of disorder
like living black numbers
that drip from her pergament skin
Joined in sweet fury
to
anoint the decay
fragile and reddened in lifelost array
