“dream eater” by Brian J. Alvarado

your mouth leads to
the afterlife, and your 
cursed chilled body finds 
solace in my shadow, 
playing tag until dusk, 
when the moon bonds 
destinies through a 
hypnotist gleam

open wide, utter
your hexes, and i
will be your friend 
again, singing your 
perish song, in 
grotesque pursuit
of digested dreams 
we had once shared
