The Collector
blood bound no longer,
escaping cracked skull.
vomitous exit.
flee disembodied
evaporation fall
to concrete,
shattering in waves.
shining coloured orbs
reflected image
mini atom bombs.
descending, rolling
glass fragments
explode blue, white, gold, pink, orange
spiral through storm drains,
liquefied, as rain.
slow motion stumble, reach,
for pieces.
squinted eyes searching.
sliced skin, sharp edges
washed and dyed ink red.
whowhatwhenwherewhy
doesn’t matter,
lost my marbles.
