katatonia

Breathe the dark
peel the old skin
facing demons
that tunnel within

Peel back my skull
like a veil over my eyes
locusts swarm
as every strand of flesh dies

lye inside my own prison walls
hiding from pinholes of sunlight
reaching into blackness
for what seems to be sight

Return to the memory
as the pale light follows me
the voices exhume me
like an embryo from the womb
