Shyamli's first one this time - Sliver

Only a slight sliver

of something vile,


Hangs….

in every ungodly

SHREEEEEEIIIIIIIK

of the still

unborn child.


It was almost beautiful.


A little,


f r a g i l e.


Undulated cadence

of something crimson,

something ripped...

Torn and

Abused.


A flicker of eyelids.

Heaving breath

in the winter sun.

Heaaaving.

Swaying-

the ceiling fan,

Bound-

to my lovely-

still praying.

A book,

filled with His words,

in her hands.


Gagged and bruised,

something blue.

something vast, laden.

Alight.


Gently unfolding

stiffened fingers

Caress…

My rising wrath.

I writhe,

for my something lovely,

something irked.


Sublime...


To Wake me,


Before singing me to sleep…


Again.
