" Conjuring "...

" Conjuring "

Conjuring monsters
for pale blondes
met head on by jagged
glistening shards
cast solemnly

metal carts of props
house lights on
shimmering scarves
exhumed plots
prominently
turbocharged
human dolls

gone shopping
much pondering
while administering
arsenic via optometry
spectacles being
bequeathed
eyes weakening
hinting at poisoning

like quantum leaps
into bittersweet
biographical history
split over seasons
modalities of harmonies
soft to the skin
suddenly misfitting
monologue-filled
plaintive singing
turning pensive and fidgety

whatever mockeries
are being watched
closely based on novels
upon being rushed to hospitals
in a heroine's operatic synopsis
deemed unstoppable
right from the start
stomachs tied in knots...
