Haunted hallways
smell like
lies
and turpentine
stored behind
trap(ped) doors
and peep holes
The air
hints at failures
hording
handfuls of
leg spreaders
for
empty day
erections
Reason filters
through disease
leaving behind
jagged
justifications
smothered in
secrets
Maggots plant
whispers to
erode
casual senses
and
embed
foreign
memories into
failing affections
ensuring the
faded demons will
always reek of
turpentine
and
lies.
