Numb ustic nerves
fervently burning from the cold
as diminutive lims lath –
pressed onto red linked chain:
listless in the darkness,
placid against a demon’s chest.
Banner of hair flapping
a flag of unbenounced creation
attached to cantankerous body
squandered by salty licks
from writhing tongues below
the relentless blue tugging
exalted by the taste of the
life seeping from fractured skin
As lithe birds shift between cracked ominocity,
a single glow of pallid yellow highlights
the figurine with chiseled jaw
cheeks stained red
fighting alabaster cloths for sight.
Back hunched, a curvature pointing down
string hair hanging – black as her mind
and the nightmares which haunt
her moving frame
are unseen to innocent eyes.
Up above the ocean she swings
sat upon a wooden slab
clinging to metal chains.
Attached to lithe clouds,
her body slowly being washed away
by the hungry white mouths
of the ocean.
