From Hell

cold... ice....
gleaming in lamp
light... shattered
silence...
echoes through
the busy streets
and no-one hears
or sees
where she lived
alone
with a thicker
here now
he takes her
flesh parted in
surgical precision
penetration
after penetration
now penetrated
liberated
steel fingers
massage the soul
the soulless
caress the heart
broken
torn
still
pounding
jagged
pounding
tearing
down
deeper
down
out
cut free
the stillborn
unborn
laid to rest
her work done

laid to rest
his work done

for tonight
