Silence


Kaleidoscopic colours scatter dreams like pennies.
they clatter down the wishing well
swirling,
swishing,
swallowing them whole.
filling your lungs with the acrid taste of copper opulence.
breathe me in. suck me dry. make a wish.

Bodies stretch before you.
A mangled marshland of restless slumber.
eyes all aflutter. drenched in foresight and memory.
churning,
turning,
drunk on illusion.
a merry oblivion from their own reckoning.
pain eases pain. bliss is ignorance. please. don't look up.

You stare as she waltzes. the silent rhythm of bitter regret.
feet like fangs she stomps the mangled marshland
pulsing,
gyrating,
lacerating their naked corporeal husk.
the callous cry of the Baneful Banshee.
hide your eyes but sound will follow. your ears will never escape.

Through the jaws of the Hungry Ghost.
a funnel of bitter remorse drains straight to your heavy heart
oppressive,
compressive,
unjust in divinity.
you pray and you plead to an amnesic God.

Don't wake. don't think. stay peaceful. stay deceived.

Abrupt. you snap. keel like a cockroach.
impalpable sorrow purges from your lungs.
silently,
violently,
slithering.
she seeps from your open wound.
pennies cascade like fireflies.

Free to dance. free to be. free from Me.
