Noose

Alone

in dusting corners of redemption

where infliction

tests the subtle awareness

that emotionlessness dulled-

a universal purpose.

Crimson specks

hug electrical pathways

as fumbling fingers

find hills of knot

A nail in Heaven

hold sinful breath

with sincerest apologies

filtering through

brightening screens

then deadened by

peaceful dreams

by the noose guest sleeping

in sinning abundance

from Heavenly grasp

to a Hellish pull.
