hell (bed poem #1)

i cannot sleep

so i dream while dancing cheerful
through my nightmares
       to chain-smoke teeth
                the snakes that haunt
                        the bent knees

red velvet blade
          to fan over our legs
windows let eyelids dark into the pores

          old
trapped in my skin
the shape of robots
from memories of amnesia

presents from my dying

My skin just crawled... Well done sir. Though I would have expected no less.
