The skin of my
          cracked lips,
               Purses over my
                       wicked tongue
                               as it licks the
back of hateful teeth.
Attempting to
r e s t r a i n
words
bespoke.
Mutterings escape,
          barely audible,
                through splintered
                     flesh, as if they were
necessary.
Phrenic
postulational
thought,
and
the deed
is
done.
