Silent Sirens on the Other Side

In my picture frame of mind, 

Your red eyes are white,

Your hands clawed and bent 

like hooks pierced deep in raw meat, 

your white fingers turn red. 

You carved your sacrifice into the frame of the bed. 

Your wax wick tongue flickers and dances silhouettes in your hollow cheeks.

Juggling ceramic urns spilling ash like snow flakes, each one its own unique shape,

as you beckon to the shadow behind the panes,

membranous windows in bone frames.

Pulling, a slithering, sliding, weary soul

reluctant to leave,

seductively persuaded by the rough white lace grip.
