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
