Stings from yellow jackets inside blood-stained crimson walls

Each knife sharpens, deadly edge at the tips, cuts deeper into the tension

A thump of vibration echoes from outside

Wounds becoming reopened, showing their fangs

Every sting beckons that I’m alive

How do I feel alive when I am bleeding among the same hand that betrayal plays?

Spinning in soft nectar and venom fingernails, a web that digs into my skin and spreads into a warm blanket for the scars left shown

Gasping for oxygen, saying you can poison me any way you like

Those who seek morality seek each truth with a lie

In the muck of grey matter, I find myself singing

I want to live in your mouth
