DarkPoetry -|- saintedmad -|- skeleton clock

skeleton clock

it pulls at my eyes

incessant gravity
weighing
down
my sight

and the sound
reverberates,
grates
as hips against bones
{like yours against mine}

time tells nothing
while they scream
with my back pressed against the silence

and my hand pressed over your mouth

tick
tock

this is creepy. it drags me down into your insanity. screaming is like trying to breathe cardboard. there are things hiding around the corners of vision.

"time tells nothing" Love the clockwork rhythm...the incessant ticking... pulls me under, makes me want to hold my breath waiting for that final chime...'tock'. Well done.

Evocatively strung and pinching..this spoke to me like echoes of crushing spines..a haunting shadow-scape(d), here..thank you. ~ Kristie
