red blood or
red poison

I am awake
in the middle of
the night

feeling bugs

a swarm of
energy

coming
to life

others
asleep

I dare not
scream out

so I scream in

death is an
implosion

breaking through
my inner skin

into the silence
that surrounds me

and my cells bleed
poison not blood
The first thing that registers is the warmth
The feeling of it on my hands
It's revitalizing
Like a cure
Spreading through my veins
Bringing dead cells back to life
Then the color
I was never able to imagine the red sea
But now it is in front of me
Spilling and spewing
From...you
Now there is only you
What to do with you?

— The End —
