Parenthesis Parenthesis
Abecedarian Challenge Entry. Content Warnings.
asphyxiation and
bloodletting
cathartic release of
deadweight
elephant in the room
flagellation at the
guillotine gallows
hanging and draining
icepick incision and
jagged intrusion
kick to the gut inside interal
liminal spaces and
mindlessly
numb
optic illusions
parenthisis parenthesis
quartz-glimmer blinding my sight, cracked glasses
roped and dragged to offer
silent serenade
tighter grip and a
useless fight
vital signs
weakened
x-ray shows internal conflict
yesterday's promises forgotten on the
zenith of failures and self destruction
