 One punctured,

A tear falls from the other.

A fluid gathers around the head

Of the spike that slides -

The spike that bled.

<    -

 

Cannot move.

The straps burn, the spike freezes.

Each muscle gripped, you can only scream

But the spike still slides -

The spike that gleams.

<  -

 

She sleeps now.

 The spike, pleased with its servant now.

The spike, is not satisfied until

He bows to the will

Of the spike that slides -

The spike that kills.
