DEATH’S REJECTION

Out of the darkness she came and

fastened onto me like a leech,

purging me of the mockery

I had for mankind;

her decayed skull echoed

with hell’s rejoicing triumph;

the void of her mouth, in

whispers, beckoned to be held;

the tempting calmness of her breath

evoked quivering sensations trembling

off my layers blending with the

apprehensive tears of my discomfort;

tombstone eyes pierced my nakedness

drawing me into silhouetted arms;

violent screams muted by the flow of

poisoned blood filled the cavities

of my lost security and then

she returned to the darkness.

February 1976
