EX-BLOOD WITCH DEATH MOUTH

EX-BLOOD WITCH DEATH MOUTH

A Poem by STRAND
"

Based on true-life events, in a way.

"

Blitzed on prison alcohol

Praying on my way down

Carved into walls: girls faces

Tried to kiss, but they crumbled

like dead leaves with dead colors.

 

Tried to listen, I just hear chants,                        

air stains, empty transactions.

Clicks and licking lips. Obscure.

But hers " still here clearly,

and I’m not better for it.

 

Cornered, I turn to face her:

Can’t steady the candle

(Cell’s empty anyway)

All the windows " sealed shut.

She speaks, dead insects from her mouth.
