Abstract Incision

by Marlon DeLeon

catch the glass before it falls
hit the floor and shatter
will it be enough?
I can’t save the world
I can barely save you
time to sharpen your fangs
feeding time or murder?
shred my bones of all that’s left
we're just chipped paint
on these city walls
hyenas laugh as leopards creep
tick tick tick
death's a killer
on your mother's eyes
you stab and infect
and bleed and whisper
it's insanity to think you're sane
vultures circle round and round
these ghosts rip the flesh
will my carcass endure the transition
my thoughts rapture my skull
will my mind survive?
corpses fill the streets
their abstract screams echo in darkness
break free of the acid rain
the vision of plague
you will be next!

you have lots of good rhythm working within this poem which is chock full of some nice, heavy duty lines.
