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.

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!
