empty eyes
stare
creepily
from the shadows
static images
pulled
into distortion
minor hellscapes
wrapped in
still frame
disillusion

random bells
chime
as the world
totters on
axial disinterest
magnetic polecats
prance along
frozen sine waves
shivering down
faux marbled
reticent refrains

no matter how
loudly i scream
the emptiness
swallows my voice
until i am
redfaced
with strained
vocal cord
progressions
in the key
of souldeep longing
