Cobwebs of Dusk

And cobwebs lick her unkempt, soiled dress Wailing for unborn child of dusk, alone ~ That every barbed gaze slithers, cast down ~ Ripped as pointed hooks nailing the flesh. Four Lines Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings by nette onclaud 9/23/2015

Nette, I have a dilemma. Your words are beautifully written and bring deep images to my thoughts. I have read it several times and each time I come up with a different vague meaning but I'm afraid my simple mind is missing your overall intent.

"Ripped as pointed hooks nailing the flesh." Did it for me. Such darkness is 4 short lines, Nette. A masterful stroke once again. huggs!

I like how you started with" And " as though there was a before.I'm still trying to wrap my brain around what is a very descriptive dark poem.It's one I'll have to come back to and read a few more times..
