Sky
Black
James
DeAcutis
Sky black
A wandering moon
Shadows creep
across the room
The pale gray
light infects the bone
Short breaths
released will not come home
Heart black
And dripping
red
Fallow dreams
cannot be fed
Its hunger
creeps from down below
Deep within the
dark shadows
Blood dried
Cold and dead
And dead flesh
cannot be bled
But crushed
within an iron grind
Leaves dripping
pulp and dreams behind
Ice cold
It touched a
spine
With dreams of
death cruel and sublime
And despite the
chill that burns the soul
The long lost
spirit ignites cold hearth coals
Shadow skulks
Across my room
Trailing dust
amidst the gloom
Bearing down
plays hide and seek
And toys and
tickles my heart so weak
Heat fills my blistering eyes
My body withers and flakes
Phantoms stifle
my pitiful cries
I fear I will
never awake
Through the
night haunted tunnels of slumber
Down the
cracked black cavernous hall
I walk amongst
scheming demons
Whose screams I can’t hear at all
Sky black
The mocking
moon
Glides across
my poisoned room
And although I
know
I am close to
death
I dread what
I'll see when I lose my last breath
