Inside the shadows shape it
as it tears it slips
Through the cracks it smiles
cheek to cheek snickering
frightening
as it slips it tears
Given name, long ago
mockery, irony
bled it felt it lived it
and so it tears
and so it slips
It sees it feeds
So I do and it smiles again
Feed
Give
Take
Or it will slip
and I will tear.
So I must comply.
