 Dread's Dark Poetry

Vital





Swallowed and convulsing
she lie there sunk in
to  sub-existence
convertible and diseased

Allayed a bed of glass
ailing in sweat
tasting of metal
pedagogue of numb

Leaning in and pulling out
speaking to resident subdued
discharge from abode a tattered case

Bound in wire
strapped secure
searing her flesh
wailing to be pure

light the wicks
she speaks in tongues
from a crucifix
a task gone sour

Dogmatic power in flask
leaping licks of heat
brittle dry to breathe
insecure intent is cast

Forcing out in spell
to close an open well
pay the cripple cost
bestow a hindered host

arching up to meet
her cracked and bloody feet
wreathing and moaning
giving into defeat

fingertips to her eyes
seeping skin
they demand it give in
shouting over her cries

Call it out
catch it quick
perge it out
set a splint
rake her skin
make her feel
pain again
sent to reveal




tighten the straps
single it out
setting the trap
“them to part”

call in the credible
demanding strength
round in a tunnel
aimed to untaint

call unto the demon
waiting to pass
send it screaming
“free at last”

set her on a flat line
vitally late
mark the time
end debate

some were meant to face there fate
