Woman in red

[Bencomo]

I'm the woman in red followed by
a blue river,
working, pacing, trembling through
the grey and black landscape
of your lies and fears,
barely surviving
your vivisection,
holding on to my own skull.

You've licked the glitter off
my soul
with your lizard-like tongues
you've trespassed into the depths
of my bodymind.

Like big, fat flies you're buzzing
around my head trying
to crawl your way into me.

Don't,
you'll suffocate.
