abandoned by the sun
abandoned by your kind
suckle yet still thirst
the wells ran dry
the breasts that feed drain and bleed
the switches fall
with them hopes and dreams
tears not far behind
harbinger of screams
you bite the tongue but you’ll be scared
when the lights all black out
spoons torn from mouths
pus pouring out
once sewn shut now foaming loud
in darkness fires rage
beacons beckon your name
and we flock like moths
phototactically chained
safe haven’s blades dig into spines
the only thing that dawns:
the courage to kill
and real monsters will come out
they’ll come out
when the lights all black out
spoons torn from mouths
pus pouring out
once sewn shut now foaming loud
umbilical unplugged
grids out one by one
blanket over your head
asphyxiating in the safety of your own bed.
blackout
