... Lure of a protean beast...
chattering teeth the poison of the instilled & insignificant murder -
death as a show -
dazed mob rushing at the clumsy executioner to free the torture victim ...
Broken bones, ripped limbs ...
On the cracked tongue & lust, expanded ...
taken from a floor to another /
Death as a transfiguration ...
The shaking eyes of the goddess with her string of skulls.
