The Stifling

a sacrifice

Speechless…

Worse… If not for the contagion of calamity;

might I find the courage?

Instead,

she screams;

her body

convulsing,

writhing,

twisting, and

dislocating. The sacristy

drastically demanding

the vex of pestilence.

Drab’d be the jest -

panic at her power,

prove her impotence -

save the vermillion

drenching manacles:

Under muzzle, her

maniacal for mercy.

If saith He: undue spirits

become the Devil,

what fate awaits

a man with none?
