Vengeance Shrew

In the darkness

falling black

lights unable to penetrate

inky

spotted with pin pricks

pain wells

blood

unseen

spools

ribbon wends

around

palm of hand

drip

from fingertips.

Ashen

hung

mid-air

twisting as though in a breeze

sullen corpse

ragged

ripped

shredded with vile abandon.

Beneath painted toes

writ in blood

words not to spake

for to do so

calls forth

Demon Siren

who feeds upon tainted soul

to find

to consume

those who perpetrated

sins against innocence.

Tick Tock

Hear that knock?

Tis me.

Come for you.

Let’s play

I will sup on you tonight.
