completely naked
but for top hat and goggles
i dress to impress
i started typing
and kept going and going
until my hands bled
rushing toward me
it’s so loud my eardrums burst
i wake in a sweat
air leaks from the room
i reach out to touch your hand
my arm halts, frozen
she climbs the gutter
a huge knife between her teeth
someone has to pay
she tears down the walls
an insatiable hunger
the cityscape looms
the vile creature writhes
a limbless mass of wet flesh
convulses and spits
it was past midnight
the sky filled with UFOs
i’d lost my camera
the water wont stop
despite how i turn the taps
i found it like this
mankind is long gone
tree roots tear through the pavement
reclaiming the street
the vile creature writhes
a limbless mass of wet flesh
convulses and spits
on the radio
you struggle reading adverts
wordplay falling flat
air leaks from the room
i reach out to touch your hand
my arm halts, frozen
