Slicing – for Community Storyboard September 8 Prompt – Horror Story

Posted on September 9, 2013 by Helen Xochipilli – Aztec God of Art (Photo credit: Jan Vrsinsky)

Razor sharp
My sinews crack open
I’m almost unaware
Of the assault
It comes so quietly
So expertly
They always come
In shadows
And silence
And slicing

Sweat soaked sheets
Would mix with blood
Cold grey eyes
Watched me for years
Calculating the time
I was ripe
For the plucking

We are food for gods
Of eons past
They rise on our breath
Seeking blood and bone
To give them brevity of form
And sickly nourishment
And I am spent

And I sing this song
All night long….

‘The pain is almost
And the night will have
Its measure
I am only their lost
Lost treasure…’

If you see me tomorrow
And my eyes are vacant
You will know
They have sliced the last
Part of my soul
And mixed it with
My sinews and blood
There’s something here
I’ve understood
But far too late

And all the children sing
As they circle in a ring
Of the playground….

‘Never, never whisper their names
Never, never play their games
Never open the gate
Or tempt this darker fate
They’ll slice you all the same
All the same….’
