dry death
drenched with blood
still corpse
falling feathers
loving intentions
hateful conclusions

Satin
over naked body
with ropes around wrists
attached to the bed
majestic breasts emerging
from under the sheets
perfect hair
now tangled and matted
brow soaked with sweat
as if it were a sponge
make-up smeared
from her exploration like a clown
of the unknown

abruptly awakened by nightmarish terrors
my last thought of sudden death
insomnia is becoming the best of all options
outcome becoming much too predictable
endless terrors are disrupting stability
banging head against the rock but thoughts remain
yesterday today and tomorrow
deja vu it never ceases
options are decreasing as hopelessness overtakes
the angels reach down from heaven
pulling me closer to the absolute
of blinding white
