Red numbers
three digits
a step back in time.
This blackness
descends

Cover my eyes with ice hands
hot tears will not melt you
spilling through your fingers
to paint a frozen canvas

Stuff your first inside my mouth
your bitter, sour failure
'this is all you’ll taste'
the chanting, single voice
where is the other one?
there, strangled on the ground
in broken pieces
common sense, reason
farewell
