Crash
The disquiet of a heart in the presence
of such untempered spirits
Faeries, Demons, Knaves
dance upon a broken body
In the shadows
A disquiet moves
unseen
Formless, Nameless.
Empty.
footsteps echo in the cavern of a chest
A once-lived life bludgeoned
by the gnarled cruel clubs of circumstance
twitches
bloodied eyes swollen slits
recoiling in the light
Drawing
shallow
quick
punctured
breaths
for a gargled soundless scream
drowned
in the silence
of deafening, buzzing,
nothing.
