Morning. Button. Fingers feeble.
Collar chokes. Taste of salt.
Grind of bone. Movements dead.
Will erased. Habits stubborn.
Flash cuts. Sharp silence.
Glint. Reflection. Shadow more alien.
Table. Loaf. Crunch in half.
Precise motion. Scalpel works.
Mercury under skin. Shackled steps.
Joint bends. Sunken flanks.
Draught in ribs. Echoing cage.
Body acts. Thread snaps.
Burn in veins. Muscles cramp.
Someone entered. Alien orders.
Black glass. Empty eyes.
The owner is home. Won’t want to leave.
