Strapped down
To ensure that
I can view
The pendulum will
Be tearing through
First his skin
Then the cheekbones
The waiting subsides
While he dies
I pull the chain
Resetting
The pendulum
To cut on me
As I climb
On top of him
His tongue is
Still wriggling
His gurgling
Will not haunt me long
The blade is near
To my own guts
In disgust, reviled
In disgust, spewing f*cking bile
In disgust, stifled crying
In disgust, struck flesh and dying
The swinging blade
Is cutting me
Blood shining light
Dim reflection of guts
Strewn around the room
When they find me
What will they assume
Too much blood for one body
Their caskets will be exhumed
Entranced by the pendulum
