Just a little thing cobbled together based on a solitary line in my file of snippets "they stand on the water like Jesus."
basilisk
you walk on water like Jesus
evading predators,
shedding your skin in pieces,
consuming fruit and flesh,
a little king with no kingdom.

#horrorprompt
insensate
first drawn to look
then blessed to glance
happily away
fine in knowing
it wasn't us

never
he threw you into the sea
where the dolphins danced.
the sun never rose that day
nor did it go down.
we suffered in mock silence
of words never said--
the funeral of three days
that you never had.

yet to be
i wait
for the sands of time
to scour and to smooth
the sharp jagged edge.
and then
i shall carry
the memory of you
without piercing my heart.

echo
I speak to the vanishing
I speak to the trees
while you are not listening
they always hear me.

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2097: pierced eye
#horrorprompt #APoemADay
cutting fancies
you glean with a piercing eye
the value of the eye you pierce
is it more perfect in its completion?
or does its beauty bloom when punctured
by your fine blade?

Horror Writing Prompt no. 2074: premonition
#horrorprompt
silent calculations
she hesitates with her admission
and struggles with the recognition
that she has wrapped her bold ambition
under the guise of the premonition.

like candles and lipstick
it glistens like cherries on snow
this bloody affair
left on display, scenting the air
