Crevices of the Mind

This journey is best taken alone

Once entered you can never go home

A trip through crevices of the mind

Overwhelmed by vapors of turpentine

Between the fissures wickedness prowls

Secretive men hidden by their white cowls

Crawling from the blood and the grunge

Dropped into rotting swamps they plunge

Smashed bones and torn flesh at inner cracks

Images of Bundy and Dahmer attacks

Leak from orifice of darkened soul

Coagulants in rancid red river flow

Pictures reflecting the walking dead

Fiendish, vile creatures need to be fed

Insomnia sets from things you may find

The inhuman acts made by mankind

A deranged man caught in desire

A daughter snuffed in a bedroom fire

A trial defense blamed crystal meth

An abused mother choked to death

A swinging young boy from a knotted noose

A soldier betrayed by a broken truce

A son fallen into a drug addiction

A stoning of an adulterous woman

Clumped together in brain’s cyanide soup

Through skull sutures seep a toxic ooze

Layers of soiled rags, an endless pile

Come on in. Won’t you stay awhile?
