Venom Poem by Adg

Venom



the venom sits
inside.
I need it
out.

My stomach

again and
again and
again.

the venom is gone
but the poison still sticks.
lingers in my
thoughts,
flesh,
soul.

So I free my bones.
A metal slice.
A crimson cascade
leaving an acid river across my arm.
Toxic.
An ecstasy of relief.
brief belief
I slayed the beast.

the savage only sleeps.
haunting
my dreams.
my wake.
