Breathing down my neck like a serpent Controlling the extent of the microns my diaphragm moves Gazing into my eyes and going straight inside Unravelling through all the sulci and the gyri Putting a veil over my cognition Below which my existence screams to survive The veil so velvety and smooth Luring me to dance Dance to the enchnanting sound hissing in my ears To the musky scent filling in my breath To the seductive suffocating of the veins on my neck To the chilling of the blood under those veins To the groping and crushing of my muscles To the crackling of my bones To the numbing of all noise and pain To the shutting off the lids, until Until I feel levitated into a sweet sleep Disappearing under the cold, leathery skin.
