coursing through my veins i feel the poison flow.
sour pain closed inside my lips,
carmine to ebony behind my eyes.
bring silence on a platter; silvered dome to blunt the noise.
cover me in black. i curl into a shaking fist.
tightened bands around my slowing heart.
tiny glint of pointed light, soft, in gathered darkness.
bleed this poison out and let me live again.
