Let Me In

Let me out 

She hissed 

Boiling beneath

Tilled soil 

Warm flesh 

Possessed my hand

Stained fingernails

Folded over silver

Run, she told me

Spiraling, stumbling

The Devils’ howls

Fade into fluorescence

Spine to stall

Slippery thighs 

Drag and drip 

Across linoleum tile

Swollen and sweating 

Rattled pipes spit 

On her scalp 

Into my mouth

Gargle and gag

Salty submission 

Waves of hell fire 

Scorching the skin 

Grime and gore 

Splattering, spoiled 

Slather my hands

Callus her claws

Rising steam

Euphoric ascension

Above her beneath

An open window

Framed black cat 

Slinking forward

Through ripened woods

Over tilled soil

I let her in
