Unanswered Salutations
By Moonflower
You're a cockroach
Skittering across the exorcism
of
this
Inebriated cataclysm
Dust falling into those
morbid cracks,
overgrown ivy
Winding
Six legs on severed
segments
A hard shell of
gleaming toxins
Your
breath is
barbwire for
my soul
Don't scrape the
spine
bone against steel
and bloody
recollections of
unforgiving
escalation
Will we die this way?
Wrapped
up in
an unholy extension
of
Hate, tongues
sliced by
contempt
That snake coiled around
your legs
with
a beating heart
and
Onyx eyes
Peering into the
spirit
casting
shapes and colors
out into
some unknown
disintegration
of my
own
mind
I blasted implemented
crucifictions
of diamond shapes
thought maybe
those
echoes would
burst into
chords and fractures
of
time,
space, and a
grim salutation
IS there anybody out there?
I've
screamed into
existence so
many
times
Shouting out
into
molecules and atoms
beaming
electric currents of
ignorant sensibility
There are no rays of light
in
the
deep, dark carapace of my
brain
We find only
emptiness
in the
fullest of minds
