Written July 27 2026 for the Skeleton contest sponsor Seth Pina
Someone shadowy sleeps in my dread head Killing creativity splashing toxic love red Entertaining licorice demons with words said Lurking even cursing cutting me as I bled Engaging ebony eyes that want me dead Thrilled by demise of dreams once spirit fed Onyx paradise where hearts go to die instead No flesh no rest for the skeletons in black bed
