hollow house

jf938://

dripping
cold
hidden in shadows
yet i feel presence
crack opening shell
already another
feeding has begun
plan firms surface
frail only
it must have read

the stench of ungrace
to move toward sun sonic
to help the helpless
recognize immediately
from washed skin appearing
to fearless unfairly indifferent
dismissive so i spit and split
with long look goodbye
careful to not turn my back
as i pass through threshold
and with it new lurkers

rarely the case yet
i realize this place
may have always been sucking on souls

i shudder

light a fire for warmth
disappear into the faces

:( we ):

i killed something today
but i'm not telling you
what it was

what was it?
tell me
what is it?

shh....

dance!!
we all now
hold ourselves under
head down contorted
clawing panic
counterpart twitch
until beaming with
which ring despair
we become

:| quiet |:

we become water
a willing death
to live forever
to forfeit every moment
we climb
we dive
we die

ashamement

it is a crime

the way
confidence
masks pale face
of manipulation

all the while
falling for ease
the way
lightning
chains us
together

i call upon
calm bondage
through hail
through fog
to uplift
those left behind

the way
fury
begs companionship
on heels
of broken legs

it is a crime

to not seek
deep seeds
in ways
a mind
won't let itself
dry out alone

calling upon pathways
of solitary atonement
redirecting
the way
indifference
turns heads
like those sold
into slavery

the way
wings
grow old
into
cold avarice

it is a crime

the way
those
left festering
are told
to fend for themselves
to forget suffering
to live within filth
to tear apart soul

allowing further
mellow whisperings
of a core
growing still

helplessly
abandoned

forgotten
