bloodwork
bloodwork
silver flashing, warm with blood
a pinprick of deception
rain like diamonds dripping
dark like dusk at high noon
this day is so familiar to me
i feel you must be very near
evil is so omnipresent in December
and everywhere i go i see reminders
flickering like the black of paralysis
my laughter chokes me in my throat
as i remember how close it is
to that dreaded Anniversary.
