singing in half-patterns
with strangled lips of fire.

with blank faces and cold smiles
dance with liombe like blades

in favorable conditions.

dreaming in tattoos
of swimming insect ghosts,
standing amidst a patchwork
of splintered glass
as spiral eyes loom.

primitive vibrations of
a dark, unknown fear.
