a hell-shackled drifter
with hot poison words
burning at the tongue —
were silence always
mine to own
but fire burns in veins
drenched in sweat i
try to sink heat down
ground out the fever
in the name
an exchange in only
shadow, puppet & flame
searing flesh with
each pass of the torch
under my skin
