Deliverance in the Clouds - Cloud Rat

Cracked skull, his eye twitches

Every ounce of paint thickens and dries

His centipede fingers curl around my back

To make sure I’m still there

Educing me

Enchanting me

Green eyes in the black light

Strewn across his lop-sided bed

Awake to shakes, twitches, and he speaks

To wake up only in my dreams…

Dying girl holds dead boy
