La Red In Red

The red line,
(try not to see it.)
cuts you in two.
Twilight cast.
A crack,
a rail,
a tear,
a thread,
a blood scrawl,
with splinter
of bone.
Glister crimson
blister. Unwanted.
Bone jar shaker,
worms in the head.
La Red tangled,
blow fly,
maggot snack,
crimson claw,
flesh snag,
hag catch,
sag and groan.
You can't
look away.                          

You can't want to.
Fever swamps

mosquito murmurations.

fish snagged in
a nightmare net
of folly's prison,
slime emits,
self-smothers.
Eye hook,
jewel-bright,
ruby ripe.
Try to rip
it out, but that
blue orb is
caught.
La red in red.
A big mistake,
realized too late.
Fear is to fear,
and only fear is left.
Sinister turn,
offering burn,
the spell cannot
be
broken.
Glitter, slither,
cold snake.
Smoke, fire,
burn, break.
Tumor excised
with a butter knife,
carefully laid
in dish of white,
was a heart,
now a bite.
A morsel for
a jagged maw,
putrid lump,
carrion to gnaw.

Meanwhile,
we have all
you ever wanted.
