i pressed my feet
upon its head
the devil underneath me
-
the natal door
i held before
locking right behind me
-
insane the way
it chose today
to try to burn and choke me
-
electric blood
neutered flower buds
blooming so inconsequently
-
Checkmate
-
i own this round
a cold war won
atop a vibrant hellscape
-
eye to eye
purloined what’s mine
now
he will never take it from me.
