Prose Shark Bite

[Hannah Capps]

Semisweet chocolate.

Tucked under your dorsal.

Bitter-bitten morsel.

Mouth Ajar.

Venomous wine.

Your spirit,

Same as mine.

Your wit penetrates.

Past your voice.

Tangled lies.

Strangled fruit,

Upon your vine.

Tree of good and evil.

Bitten control.

Berating boil.

Grip, pitch.

Punch-drunk.

Daisy mine,

Don’t rape my mind.

Compulsive.

Demoniac.

Backbiting derelict.

Blistered time.

Lacerated armies.

Fallen shadows.

Escapism?

Oblique devotion?

Slit eyes (views)

Torn fins (cave in)

Piercing timbre.

Screaming.

Skinless knees.

Godforsaken.

Deserted.

Abandoned.

Sea of sand.

See me.

Perceive me.

Mend me.

Home enfolded.

Marred lungs.

Broken chests,

Take it as it comes.
