Strike
I seek no memories.
They strike.
Venomous snakes
Surprised from sleep.
I seek no memories.
They catch me unaware.
A corner glimpse
And I am there.
Bitten -
Struck.
Poisoned
In my soul.
I seek no memories.
They leap unbidden
In desert land of me
Where oasis used to be.
Illusion's truth, a lie.
Where lovers lost will crawl to die -
Shed the snakeskin and pretend,
It's the Other that brought the end.
I seek no memories.
They strike.
