Sore, rot, torment, meant

Observe, infect, raining down

Upon the face, the compulsion to blink

Forced to stare, bloodsoaked, rusted iris

Chapel, moonlight, blackened clouds

Swarmed the moon, hornet's nest

Forced to stare, hyper aware

Crucifix in teeth, toothless wreath

Enraptured, the final coming

Crumpled heap of stapled flesh

Grey clothes, rotten, mold-infect

Forced to stare, in ropes, noose, air
