Stared Down

Dread

Deep,

Deep,

Dread

 

Waiting to lift a rock

Under which I have left a Viper

 

Venom nonfatal

But abscesses and grows

Cultivates already infected,

decaying tissue

 

Weight my temple

Drop from a tower

Only the ground below and

On all sides

 

Dread, pass me by

Deaf, blind viper

 

Is this paranoia

No, I tremble legitimately
