there is a demon in digits
neon-lit or
elegant chrome,
tick
tick
ticks
me off the night away &
melts my liquorice eyeballs
to blistering plastic puddles
there is a demon in digits
& a strangling vine
in those metallic hands,
milking my corpse for yet another hour
when all i want to be
is gone.

Strangling vine… I can feel the suffocating tick tick tock

There is a demon in digits – that’s why I leave my phone, any timepiece, and my fingers at home where they belong.
Later….
