This longing from within
I see it rising
It’s a devil in disguise
It’s a creature from the deep sea
its eyes are blind
yet it can see
it sees me
It has a beak
sharp teeth
sharp claws
a pointy tail
Its scales are orange and silver
and she slides
she slithers
She turns out to be a mother
a whore, a wife
bearing children from many fathers
giving birth, giving life
Life unwanted
they didn’t want to be born this way
by copied sin
fading with every copy
She’s a devil in disguise
beguiling
her vile breath
poisonous
when it reaches the air
She’s a creature from the deep sea
without ears
deaf
yet she hears me
she hears me call
Rescue me
Unassorted stories
