Morning Serial

Hoarfrost lipstick

Touches not-dead-enough lips.

She's limp and entangled in branches.

 

Unfeeling fingers

Snap newly-formed buds

Breath puffing and gasping, he glances.

 

"Pretty...

...my pretty...my pretty cold doll!

See how the snow on her dances?

 

Almost...almost finished.

Just need the rest...

That last one got covered in scratches..."

 

Bone-numbing cuffs,

Can't scream from the gag.

She's trembling and sobbing in snatches.

 

"Shhhhhhhhhhh...

 

I just need your arms...

such pretty white limbs!.."

He picks up his shears, and advances.
