Derma

their nails were rimmed with blue and grey 
a clinical circle was bordering stain
noisily blossoming; smeared by the pain
the indigo purpled and mantled her flay 
a bruising delusional; deafened contusional 
denting and doubling and bubbling inflamed
detriment gently, vain hysterectomy sectioning skin by the strain

derelict centering
feigning and fondling 
further and fairly deveined  
hemophilia setting in 
azure limbs fettering 
murdering pale for her stay 

cracked from a stutter their 
lips turned in color with
blue blooming out of the brain 
drained on the flooring panes 
still and yet subtly 
shivering like it would rain 

granted their status by 
siren with blood in eyes 
poisonous digits dig in 
mild dim underskin 
derma tint muddling
water spills out with a feign
