Suicide Advocacy
I decry
On a podium of terror
Built up by
Black thorns and briers
Clutching so fiercely
My fingers fall off
And myself become my own
EnemiesBut I perceive them outside
An existential threat
To be burned
To torture
No more scratching, clawing
Fears scrambling in
Always searching for my heartI will not capitulate!
Captured and caged by thorns
But not surrendered
Though these thorns grew
Of my own misunderstanding
Of what freedom truly isFight on
Fight through pain and reason
For what's the reason
When the threat is so near
I'll keep screaming
Until you listen
Until you bury meBuried is all of me already
As both earth and vines
Have take over...

Cryptids Chapter 18: Sacrifice Of Angels
After wiping the Lykan blood off his face, Alex raised his large tubular shotgun up to his waist and gave it a swift solid pump of the foregrip to load a shell into the chamber. Between him and the warrior caste insect, the split in twain warrant officer who just a moment ago helped them through a sealed door, who just a moment ago allowed Alex to take his shotgun in exchange for protection while he worked on overriding the door mechanism. He trusted Alex, his captain, to protect him and he failed him. Not just failed, but almost instantly he failed.
The Lykan lay flat on his face, his body split down from the base of his neck which struggled to hold on to each side with thin strings of sinewy flesh pulled taut like organic bridges holding the two halves with all their might. The gaping chasm split from the neck of the fallen officer and down to just above his waist, staining the torn spacesuit in crimson gore which also spilled on the deck plating. Several blood vessels squirted out
The colors of this spacious dream
All melt into one
Running down through the haze
Of a slumbering unknown
-
The interweaving thread
Of our encircling illusion
Is plucked and frayed
By the toll of our clock
-
The fragments of our spell
Are swept aside in the night
By a fire-tinged breeze
A new Goliath’s rising
-
Footfalls in the attic
Will send this whole house crashing
Down through the cellar
Into infamy’s flames
