It gropes, rapes,
torments with film
footage, triggers shots
framed through a magnoscope

in dark recesses, strangles
with bare words wrapped
around each breath, laughs
as it seizes control. Cold

steel flashes, bores
holes until it bursts
and splatters all over,
taints restlessness

with glimpses, fleeting
walks through dreams,
eluding slumber
in circadian pursuit.
