A smothering affliction

Smeared the wings of a white moth

Trapped inside a shadow cage

Stretched out the webs of a liar

That captured her breath

And her mouth

Slowly covered with the net

Layer after layer

Emptied glance

Under coercive control

It paid a bitter price

For a forged affection

A wingless owl

Slowly closing her eyes

Buried the wisdom in her heart

It saw through the deceit

The putrid motive

Blackened her tears

And she bled deep inside

Became the keeper and the guardian

Of the secrets of the serpent

The nightingale

Never sang again

But quietly wept in the moonrise

Snake nest offering

I will present you a series of pictures

Look at them and tell me what you see

There are no wrong answers

The first thing that comes to your mind

In the ink stain

I see a pattern of a monster

Stuck in a guilt trap

Sawtooth marks on my limbs

A crypsis, a veil on its face

A muted murder

In the ink stain

I see a pattern of a monster

Stuck in a guilt trap

Sawtooth marks on my limbs

A crypsis, a veil on its face

A motionless killing

Nymphs of the bleary waters

The dark lilies of dusk

Drowning in the nocturnal gloom

With black swans

Infected by the venom

The filthy touch of viper arms

A fallen crown rot on the ground

Ate from the poison garden
