Pinned; fingers to the cold concrete
iron nails
slow drips fall, my forehead wet
my nakedness for all to see
I do not speak
for my tongue is no longer

Pinned; fingers to the cold concrete
iron nails
slow drips fall, my forehead wet
my nakedness for all to see
I do not speak
for my tongue is no longer
Flashed claret red,
scratching; they skittered over my ceiling
I lay in my bed, bones rigid, blood boiling
Flashed claret red,
something beyond dread
hellish fangs spiralled toward me
Flashed claret red,
scratching; they skittered over my ceiling
