Beneath coursing
radiance steel glowed. Its serrated fangs
sank ravenously into curvy matter, split blue channels that pumped scarlet
solution and fell free. Onto a hardwood floor it bounced with a clang.
Dime sized emblems
flecked a trajectory as flesh shuffled toward the aperture of darkness. Instantaneously
swallowed, lines blurred, weaved stitches over closed eyes and guided draining
life toward end.
Cascading
water came into view but not clearly.
Through a fuzzy veil, heavy lidded eyes perceived its steaming gush from
a pewter inlet. It threw sparkling
diamonds across a transparent body contained by bone
white barriers.
The moment
when flesh and liquid joined was paused as crimson smacks spiraled and stained
the unblemished sea. Then flesh was
submerged and with the rush of heated liquid life drained more quickly.
