Testing the Edge
TESTING THE EDGE
unsheathed razorsharp
doubledged crimsonbled
dark holes feed blue moles
underneath dirt they skirt
claws braced throats cursed
testing the edge
in mythical maddening moments
Unicorns stab their Mermaids
laying their own sea beds of
shameful ancient slaughter
testing the edge
bloodbeating brainscreaming
red smoldering screens
blindfolded shielded against
past discretions obscene
unseen mock reproductions
artificial redraged dreams
double edged crimsonbled
testing the edge
while stupidly they stare
and do not dare interfere
protecting clean blueveined
wrists not stained red by
unsheathed razorsharp
brazened blades
testing the edge
