HAIRPINS, HARPIES

Widows weep, like windows creak

Like a widow's peak

From which i jump


Down to the abyss

The water, off the cliff

Down onto the rocks

The waves

Will crash with


Down in the sea

The harpies fear me

As light fears the water


They tear me apart

My body still dry

Bloody and lifeless

splattered like art


And she eats my flesh

Her talons wide open

Sharp and diseased

Wide-eyed she speaks


Unclear to me

Like hairpins she stabs me

Into my skin

Rotting i weep


Harpies and hairpins

Cold and twisted

Her feathers falling

Into my wounds


My chest left agape

She drags my body

Out of the

landscape


Into the sea

Onto the rocks

Under the cliff

On widow's peak
