Whispered inclination
Vulnerable heart
Zombie mind
Phantom will
Trap is laid, snare is set
Unsuspecting feet
Hidden hands, lurking darkness
Brief, mercurial susurration
Silence
The deed is done
Lucid golden aspirations
Lilting silver snowflake dreams
Bloodstains of a slivered conscience
Lust and greed arrest heart screams
Steel trap snap
Asphyxiating soul
Clawing, clutching, clinging–
Closing…
Inner death, outer life
