slit wrist sky

keleph

Beneath slit	1
wrist sky scampers	2
the empty wretch.	3
Hunting down a Rothko Door	4
between black-void alleys.	5
Foul stench pools of blood fleck	6
his grime embroidered	7
rags and dregs of thought.	8
Clicks	9
The clicks and clacks of drawing back	10
The latch;	11
the boot-thread thuds on his flat door.	12
He is dragged, ploughed through	13
Dirt amid fangs, claws, wild death throws, screeches - and screams.	14
Cracked head on cobblestone	15
Echoes in the hollow note of mice.	16
Stale and dead eyes mask the	17
lust of the throng.	18
Steady hands pound bullet after bullet into his body. Chipping bone, burning flesh and	19
Breaking slate.	20

Red seeps around black cobble;	21
The opening of a Rothko Door	22
